Hi , I was wondering if anybody can shed some light on this problem ??

Recently I was forced off my ISp provider BT Internet into BT/Yahoo and have
had rucks of problems with virtually no answers.One the CANNOT fathom so
they stopped getting back to me is ....when an e-mail arrives it goes onto
my web server e-mail address because I still prefer Outlook Express it then
downloads onto this program. Fine I hear you say (except for the anti
Outlook Express lobby) HOWEVER the time is way out . e.g. if the e-mail
reads say 11:42 hrs on the web e-mail by the time gets to OE it has lost
about 5 hrs. When I send an e-mail it can be about 5hrs behind actual GMT...

My Computer clock is Ok and is correct for GMT.

Can anybody help ??

Thanks

Christa

Double click on the clock in the system tray and check the Time Zone
setting. Set it to wherever you are in the world.

I don't know how BT/Yahoo works, but Yahoo is based
in the USA, so maybe that's where the -5 hours is
coming into play -- one of Yahoo's main addresses
is in Chicago (GMT -5).
