Can you tell me how to correct the time on my incoming messages? They are
exactly 2 hours later that the correct time. My computer is correct and
shows the correct time? Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you for your response, however, the time and time zone are correct on
my computer. That was the first thing I checked.

Do you have any other ideas or suggestions? Any help, very much
appreciated.

This is typically caused by an incorrect time zone and/or
daylight saving setting. Right-click on the time (lower right corner),
select Adjust Date/Time, Change time zone.
 
Sorry, I can't agree with you.
According to the Date header on your post:
"Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2008 00:32:45 -0200"
your PC is set for the 'GMT -0200' time zone, which is wrong.
It should be set for the 'GMT -0400' time zone, which corresponds
to your location in North Carolina. That accounts for the two hour
difference you are seeing on received messages.
I believe Windows calls yours the 'GMT -05:00' time zone, because
there is an additional one hour offset for daylight saving time.
 
Again, Thank you for your help. I am very confused about this. As I
mentioned, my computer clock (in the right hand corner) had the correct time
but my email messages did not. Regardless, I changed my time zone to
GMT-5:00 and my emails now have the correct time BUT the clock in the right
hand corner of my computer is 2 hours off. I'm in NC and the actual time is
2:12 but my computer shows 12:12.... There must be something wrong between
my Mail Account and the computer. Is there any way to set the time in the
Maill Account? Do you have any other suggestions?

This situation just happened since we moved the mail account from our
Desktop computer to my laptop computer but that should not make a difference.
 
As VistaRookie already told you, after you correct the time zone, you
will also need to correct the local time on the clock. The two settings
go hand in hand.
