[Bug 280016] [NEW] Incoming email ends up in an incorrect date slot : eg. 9.02.08 instead of todays date 10.08.08.

[Michel Pradervand]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Since the last Thunderbird update (under Ubuntu 8.04, regularly updated) all my incoming mail land in a totally unpredictable date slot, about a month back (last one was found at 2008.09.02 instead of 2008.10.08) !  I have to scan my mails to find new incoming docs.  I hope this is not a general bug as it is frustrating.  When the time display changes to the full date, the mails appear to regain the appropriate date slot.
Not being a specialist, but having started with Linux just recently, I am unable to answer the questions below.  At 73 it is not as easy to assimilate all this new technology.
