There are a couple of ways to do this. If you are using CDO 1.21 code you
can use the Session.GetOptions("TimeZone") method to get the time zone as a
Long value that corresponds to an enum defined for CDO.

The local time zone information is also stored in the Windows registry.
Take a look at this MS KB article, it has more information:
