Jim, he has a dead mobo battery and an electrical system put together with bailing wire and scotch tape. The "time server" is a crusty old Casio on his wrist that is off by over a year, 2 hrs and 34 minutes. He connects to the net by means of a pringles can aimed by Mark I eyeball at a satellite just barely above the ecliptic with a slight wobble.

To really take this as a point of constructive discourse could anyone here suggest mail software that uses something other than local system time?
I understand weird system configurations because I often do it myself. But I can't conceive the convoluted configuration you must have where accurate local system time is a bad thing and just the mail software should get time from somewhere else. Understanding your setup sounds like a good "computer game" so please tell me what you have.
