Evolution 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 have both exhibited a bug where the 'Date' field in the message lists is wrong by the number of hours to GMT. I am in AEST which is GMT+10 hours. In evolution I had chosen my timezone and Australia/Melbourne. I am running localtime and adjkernel is running. Fix: By choosing timezone England/London (ie GMT) the time is displayed correctly.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->gnome Over to maintainer.
State Changed From-To: open->feedback Can you provide a visual example? The Date field in Evo is always that of the sender of the message. In my case, I have never had a problem with the date being inaccurate, and I use EST [GMT -0500] (currently EDT [GMT -0400]).
I saw this come up in the gnome discussion list, and I have a screenshot to show off: http://comrie.uwaterloo.ca/evo-dateshot.png (names & email addresses elided to protect the guilty) Notes: 1) the machine I run evolution on is in EDT (GMT-0400) 2) its hardware clock is set to GMT 3) its timezone is set to Eastern 4) the machine that particular mail was sent from is also in the Eastern time zone (it sits about 50 feet from me, as a matter of fact) 5) the email was actually sent at 05:25 wall clock time. I'm not familiar with the actual names of the panes, but you can see that in the mail picker, it displays GMT, whilst in the headers of the message in the message preview pane, it displays the full date and time with the offset. If I reply to a message, it claims they wrote it at whatever time they actually did, except it shows; ie, a reply to that message starts off with: "On Sat, 2003-08-16 at 09:25, Super-User wrote:" which is, strictly speaking, correct, but misleading. ;) Anyway, hope this helps. For what it's worth, I find that sometimes exiting and restarting evo seems to help. I don't know if this is a FreeBSD-port-bug, or an evo bug that should be filed with Ximian. Mike -- Nothing cures insomnia like the realization that it's time to get up.
State Changed From-To: feedback->closed This is now fixed in Evo 1.4.4_1.
