My Thunderbird consistantly shows tomorrow's date on incoming and outgoing email. even though the system clock and Windows clock show the correct date. Help.
My installation of Thunderbird appears to use a clock that is 24 hours ahead of the real time. For example messages received on December 25, 2014 are dated December 26.
Furthermore, when I replied to an incoming message today, December 25, the automated header stated that I was replying to a message received on December 26.
My computer's system clock and the Windows clock both show the correct date.
Is there any way to force Thunderbird to re-read the system clock, or any other way to reset Thunderbird's internal time?

Thunderbird uses your computer clock. It has nothing else to reference. I suggest that you double check your clock for the correct time and time zone. There is no reason to look at the bios to check the computer clock.

What time zone is your system clock set to? This is usually caused by an incorrect time zone setting.
My system clock is set correctly to Hawaii standard time. This BIOS setting has remained unchanged for the past several years.
