But mail that is stamped more than one hour before I start evolution is dated "Today". Mail in the last hour and in the future (due to the time zone problem) has only the time. > Anyone running into problems might consider testing Evo under a new, > dummy account to see if the problem is stale settings.

I just blew away all of my evolution configuration, re-started evolution, ran through the druid, and see no difference. The timestamps still show UTC in the TOC. I'm running out of ideas. I removed the following: ~/evolution/*, ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution, and ~/.gconf/apps/evolution. IS there something else I should have gotten rid of? -- R.
