Re: MAPI Received Time 1 Hour Earlier Than Outlook 2003 Received T

Hi Ken,

I have looked at the timezone value and it is 1, which is correct for my
timezone. I am having this problem on a customers site, the emails have the
correct date/time in outlook but the wrong date/time using CDO. I dont have
this problem on my computer, but when I forward an email from my customers
site to me the email has the correct date/time in outlook but the wrong
date/time in CDO, but only for the emails forwarded from the customers site,
not the ones already in the inbox.

I have used a UTC to local time conversion function which converts all the
customers forwarded emails to the correct date/time (adds 1 hour) but it also
adds 1 hour to all the emails that were already in the inbox and correct
anyway. Is there a way to check which emails need converting and which dont?

Also how does outlook know which to change and which to leave? Is it
possible to use the same function outlook uses?

I could use the outlook object model to get the date/time but it would mean
re-writing parts of my code and also this seems abit over-kill just to get
the date/time. Surely theres a function which can be used with CDO to do this?

Kind regards,

Matt
