POP3 date not right

[d_newin]

Hi.

I have a strange problem. Whenever I download a message through the Scalix POP interface, the message received date reflects the date the message actually hit the mailstore (server date), and NOT the date of my client machine.

I tried changing the date of my client machine back 2 hours, and the received message still shows the date the server received it. I thought the received date should change to the date of the local machine, since you could be anywhere in the world when you POP.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem, but intermittantly; sometimes it will be the date/time on my machine, sometimes it will be the date/time when the message hit the server.

My client is MS Outlook 2003 v11.6359.6408 SP1.

I don't know the version of Scalix, but will find out.

Have you checked the email headers?
On mine the headers are always correct, which led me to think this was a client thing, but I haven't delved into it enough.

I'll be following this...

Well, I did some more testing, and:

1 - If I send mail from my google account (say it's sent at 10:00:00 AM) to the scalix server (received at 10:00:05 AM, per header), and I view the mail through SWA, the message correctly shows it was received at 10:00:05 AM. This is the server time. Then, if I POP the message onto my machine with Outlook, the received date of the message still shows the Server time (10:00:05 AM). This is incorrect

2 - If I send mail from another Scalix user (say it's sent at 11:00:00 AM) to a another local Scalix user (received at 11:00:01 AM), and I view the mail through SWA, the message correctly shows it was received at 11:00:01 AM (again, the server time). Now, if I POP the message onto my machine with Outlook, the received date of the messages changes to the time on my local machine. This is correct.

Any ideas anyone? Or is this expected behaviour.

What version of the Scalix server are you running ?

Can you post the MIME headers for each message ( Edit for security if necessary ) ?

Cheers
