Date field in the message view is incorrect
Last modified: 2011-03-09 12:46:08 UTC
Created attachment 158100 [details] screenshot showing the problem When using the MAPI connector, sometimes a message has the date field shown correctly in the message list but when opening the message view the date field there is incorrect. Using "view source" or "reply" uses the incorrect value. See attached screenshot - it shows two evolution windows open on the same MAPI folder (the inbox) and selecting two messages from the same thread, sent 5 days apart. - The message in the front window was sent on the 6th of April and it says so both in the message list as "Yesterday" (The screenshot was taken on 7th of April) and also in the message preview. - The message in the back window was sent on the 1st of April and it says so in the message list correctly as "6 days ago", while the message preview shows the date as "7th of April". The time doesn't make sense either.
Thanks for a bug report. I suppose this is fixed with a patch from bug #633185. Only few notes: to have the change properly working, one may delete local cache of messages to have them redownloaded and the date value properly computed. The date/time in the message list is in the user's local time, whereas the time in message preview is shown as described in message itself (possibly with a value in brackets also converted to local user's time zone, this time in italic). If the message itself has different time than the one set in message headers on the MAPI server then there is nothing much we can do, I'm afraid, though I can be wrong. Anyway, I'm closing this in favour of bug #633185. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 633185 ***
