I received an email at 12:47 am. My webmail client confirms that time. Postler says I got the email at 6:47 am.

this bug is only getting more confusing for me. There is no doubt that Postler is displaying grossly incorrect timestamps for most if not all received messages. However, the exact amount of the offset differs depending on the message.

@Allen: btw, the message containing the test mails you sent me yesterday also had a wrong timestamp, though this time it was some time early...

may I please suggest that we mark this bug as confirmed? The issue itself is confirmed, but the exact details and cause are, as of yet, unknown. I believe this needs to be investigated though.

So I fortunately got good examples in my inbox which helped me test this properly and I ended up reworking all date handling in both message and content view. It should work like a breeze now. And as a bonus, Today and Yesterday should not be off anymore.
