207045 - Incorrect date is displayed for messages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 73565

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Thompson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425

If I send mail using my webmail (squirrelmail), and attempt to pick up the mail 
(IMAP) using Mozilla Mail, then the date is ALWAYS 1/01/1970 11:00AM.

However, this is not the date shown in the header of that email. The header is 
correct.

Using Outlook Express, this problem cannot be replicated whether the mail is 
picked up over IMAP or POP3 -- So I am sure that the problem is with Mozilla 
not the webmail end.

Similarly, reading the mail back through the webmail is without fault.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Send email from webmail (squirrelmail)
2.Retrieve using Mozilla over IMAP
3.

Actual Results:  
The date in the main inbox window (top right) is incorrect. It is always 
1/01/1970 11:00AM

Expected Results:  
Displayed the correct date (as per the header - View/Headers/All)

The only clue I can give is this:

In the message view window (bottom right), using 'normal headers' 
(View/Headers/Normal), the header is

For normal (correctly displayed emails): Subject, From, Date, To

However, for the messages displayed incorrectly, the Date field is not 
displayed (Subject, From, To only)

I don't know if this helps

Reporter, there is /no/ date-header in this message ! Unless you mean the 'X-te'
header, but that's not a standard header.

INVALID ?

I've noticed that Mozilla uses the date/time from the sender's Date message
header, whereas OE and other mail clients get the date elsewhere (maybe the
Received header?).  For that reason, if the sender's computer's clock is wrong,
that is what is displayed in Mozilla.  If there's no date header, I guess this
is what happens.
