Hi all. I'm at a bit of a loss with this one, and I'm not entirely sure that it's specifically an 
openSUSE issue, but I'm hoping someone here will at least be able to point me in the right 
direction. 

Setup: Ntop-NG running on a Raspberry Pi (Debian Bookworm), generating alert emails sent 
to a local mail server (running on a Debian Bookworm VM) using Dovecot for serving emails 
via IMAP (emails stored in ~/Maildir). 

Procmail running on the mail server sorting emails into specific sub-folders under the users' 
Maildir folders. 

KMail on Tumbleweed retrieving IMAP emails from that local Dovecot mail server.

Timezone is Australian Central Summer Time (UTC+10:30), timezone is correct on desktop 
machine, (Tumbleweed), NTOP-NG and mail server. 

The timestamp in the KMail message list is exactly 10:30 ahead of the actual time the message 
was received from NTOP-NG (as seen by viewing the message source in Kmail, meaning that 
recent messages are being shown as received in the future. 

It's almost like the timezone offset is being applied incorrectly by KMail, but I cannot figure 
out why. The times for the same emails  in the message list in Thunderbird are shown 
correctly, so it does look like a KMail issue, but why it only seems to apply to these specific 
messages in this specific folder has got me beat. 

Regards,
