“… a riddle wrapped in mystery inside an enigma.”
I have 3 email accounts with my ISP that I access with Thunderbird. For
the last couple of months, the default account indicates the “Time” on
the Subject Line one hour ahead of my clock time (XP-Home). The two
subordinate email accounts report email received times as at my PC clock
time; i.e. correctly.
To the best of my knowledge, T-Bird has no independent settings for Time
offset that would differentiate between accounts; it reports them as per
the PC clock.
I am not certain if the email accounts are all maintained on the same
server at my ISP. I could not get a straight answer when I inquired;
just had my questions dismissed as my clock offset settings must be
wrong or a faulty email program. Three query emails sent showing screen
shots of the problem over the last 3 weeks have gone unanswered.
I am under the impression that XP-Home clock, once initiated and set to
the appropriate Time Zone, automatically adjusts for Standard and
Daylite Savings without operator intervention. Such has been my
observation at least for about 2 years; until this phenomenon appeared.
In any case, all emails should show the same offset, right or wrong, on
any given day.
Below are URLs to screen shots showing the Subject Lines, email headers
and Computer Clock for several examples. Each shows the state of things
within a few minutes of receiving the emails indicated by the Subject
line and Header.

Subordinate Account
I hope someone with a better brain than mine can spot the problem.
