I recently moved from the states to Japan.  I have changed all the location options I can find in the settings, and my inbox is still following the dates from Washington.  My Calendar is on the correct day, so it my Windows Live Today Home Page, it is only my inbox that is still on the Washington dates.

How can I fix this so emails show 'today' 'yesterday' and times according to my location?

I’ve moved your post here at the “Accounts and Passwords” forum since your issue talks about incorrect dates of your mails.

Back on what you've stated, you need to update your profile depending on where you’re currently staying to view the correct time or date of your mails. Here’s how:

1. Sign in to the Windows Live Hotmail website with your Windows Live ID.
2. On the Action bar, click Options, and then click More options.
3. Under Manage your account, click View and edit your personal information.
4. On the Account summary page, click Registered information.
5. Make your changes, and then click Save.

If the steps above didn’t work, please provide us your Hotmail account in question.

Thanks!

I have done that and it still does not show up properly.  Emails that I recieved yesterday are just showing the date, as if I recieved them today.

I've sent you a Personal Message (PM) to investigate this further. Here are the steps to view the PM:
 
1. Click on your Sign in name displayed right beside "Signed in as" found at the upper-right side of the page.
2. Under "My Private Messages," click the "My Inbox is using the wrong date to mark when emails arrive" message.

By the way, I've moved your post to the Reading and Writing Messages forum.

I sent you the requested information

Hi again, mrs.schnepf.

I've forwarded your concern to our Escalation Specialists. They'll be contacting you to work with your issue.

Thanks.

Hello Mrs.Schnepf,

I setup a test account that mirrored the settings on Mrs.Schnepf  account, and it matches up for the current time/date in Tokyo (which is what the account is set to).

So, it's showing the correct time for the timezone the account is setup in - if they doesn't want it to appear in Tokyo time then they'll have to switch the passport settings to the timezone they do want it setup in.

Thank you,

Chrystal

So if it mirrors the settings in my account, and the test account is working properly.  Why aren't my emails showing the correct date and time?

What do I need to do to fix my account?

Hi mrs.schnepf,

Can you clear up a tiny detail for me?

When you view your messages and their timestamp. what program are you using?

A. Web Browser (through http://mail.live.com)

or

B. E-mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird, Entourage)

This makes a difference in viewing the timestamp.

Thanks

I migrated my messages from gmail to hotmail, using outlook (dragged the messages).

When in outlook, when I look at my inbox, the dates are wrong. All the messages show the same date.

However, when I open the messages, the dates are correct.

The messages are being ordered using the wrong dates.

This happens in the webmail too, and I believe outllok is simply reading the data in the server. How can I correct this ?

Thank you

my email address is {removed email address}

I notice that in my outlook folders, the dates on the messages are correct.

On the same folders, via the hotmail website, they are not.

Help !

To further investigate, provide a copy of the e-mail with full message header showing the incorrect time stamp. Here’s how:

1. Sign in to your Hotmail account.
2. Right-click the e-mail listed in the message list and select “View message source.” This will open a window with the message source. 
3. Copy and paste the info on your reply to this post.
