    I have searched and searched on Google for a solution for this but nothing has worked.

    The time stamp on the emails I receive are off by 3 hours. Meaning it appears that the time zone is set for PST instead of EST. My computer clock is correct, the time zone is set correct. I've done the "javascript time check thing" Sun Nov 07 2010 08:44:47 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) and that shows correct. My gmail acct is set correctly for EST. Everything appears to be set up perfect. Despite this, the time stamp continues to be wrong. It HAS to be this computer. I have a laptop that I use with the same email program and all of those timestamps are correct. I dont get it. Any suggestions?

    Same email account on the laptop? If not, set the time zone preference via the mail account's Web interface. Time stamps for email are usually set to the time zone of the smtp server, if not then by user preferences.

    Yep, same email acct. Same everything. The only difference is the computer.
