Time stamps in the future

[jdbliss]

I am noticing that PP shows timestamps from my Yahoo account 7 hours ahead of when they were sent:
One from my Wife this morning:
Yahoo web: 5:17am
Yahoo PP: 12:17pm

Looking at another email...my Dad sent an email to both my Yahoo account and my Gmail account, with a 7 hour difference.
Yahoo in PP: 5/11/2017 4:03am
Yahoo on web: 5/10/2017 9:03pm
Gmail in PP: 5/10/2017 9:03pm

I've done some testing and it seems that if you're using Webmail (servertype = "Yahoo") AND your Yahoo account is using the basic interface, then the timestamps will be off (presumably, based on your timezone from UTC). If you're using IMAP or Webmail with the "newest" interface, then the timestamps will work.

I personally recommend using IMAP (edit the account and change the server type to IMAP), but I'll look into this.

Ok, this has been fixed (it was indeed a UTC-relative issue) and will be released probably tomorrow or over the weekend. If you want to confirm it now, email me and I'll send you the file.

I think I may have seen this issue before but, at the time, I may have thought it was a bug in Yahoo. Here's why:
When I sent my Yahoo/basic account a message and logged in, the inbox showed me the same timestamp that PP did -- 6 hours in the future. Only after I (open the message / refresh the inbox / something), does the inbox correctly show the time. This repeats itself each time I logout and back into the account.

Thanks for addressing this. I will wait for the fix to appear auto-magically!

As always, I appreciate your help!

I slipped an updated webmail into the v4.4 release last night So not everybody will have it yet, but glad to know that it works.
