    Today a user handed me their bold 9900 complaining that it hasnt synced any mail since the 18th of feb.

    I thought the best place to start was a soft reset so i pulled out the battery and let it reload then sent a test email. after a few seconds the blackbery pinged at me and I thought id had an easy one. i opened the mailbox and the mail at the top was still 18th feb. then i noticed that the mail was from 18th feb 2044

    I checked the date and time, both were correct
    I have now wiped and reactivated the handset

    later in the afternoon I had another user brought me their 9900 they have three emails from friday the 23rd of March

    has anyone seen this before or have any ideas what could be causing it

    One of the affected users (the one with 3 emails from tomorrow) the emails were internal and when the email is opened the date and time at the top of it are correct and match up with outlook it�s just in the inbox it decided they were from Friday 23rd march

    The other one had a weeks worth of emails from 2044 again all of which have the correct date and time on the email itself

    We have tried changing the date and time on a pc and sending an email to see if we could replicate the issue and even though the pc was in 2015 the mail arived on the handset with the correct time

    Web searches for a solutions have turned up many forum threads which have just descended into quotes and references from Back to the Future

    In messages folder in the list it shows the time the email was received at, once you open it the time at the top is the time it was sent at, the time of the user's computer or the time on the server.

    I have a client that have their clock (or time on server) one hour behind.

    Its the time at the top of the mesages forlder that is wrong I would have thought that this came from the handset but the time and date on teh handset is correct
