Weird E-Mail Problem

If anyone can explain to me why my e-mail is telling me that it’s receiving messages dated tomorrow (and yes, my time and time zone are correct), I’d love to understand this. New messages are coming in now at the correct time. I had a crash of Entourage (OS X) just before this started happening.

if you have any ideas.

UPDATE: I had many suggestions but no clear resolution. One correspondent’s note made the most sense in this situation. He said:

In UNIX the BIOS clock is typically set to GMT and you tell the system what the local time zone to use. If there is a configuration problem then the system will default to GMT. As GMT is +8 hours, it can look like “tomorrow” from 4PM PST on.

Anyway, whatever did happen, I reset the clock, rebooted and am back to normal receipt of e-mail. Thanks again to all who wrote.
