I'm away from home at the moment, so am using webmail (which is really fantastic - can't believe how many facilities it has!), BUT the time is wrong - it seems to still be on BST.  My partner has also noticed that when using webmail from work.  Can someone fix it?

Ann

In your webmail.. hit personal preferences and uncheck the daylight savings box.  That fixes it.

Doh . . . !  Thanks very much, Ann - I had no idea that the time setting wasn't controlled centrally!  It's all sorted now.

Rik

I think the idea is to allow you to set it to a local time zone while travelling, if you want to.

Yes, that makes sense.  One other thing that puzzles me about webmail, given that it has all sorts of formatting options I wouldn't have expected, is that it doesn't seem to have an icon for cutting and pasting:  am I being slow again in not finding them, or are they not there?  It wouldn't matter, but for some reason right-clicking in webmail doesn't bring up a copy or paste option (as it does here in the forum). 

Rik

I've never really used webmail, Krysia, but when I did, I just used Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste. Do these not work for you?

I just tried it.  Either the keyboard shortcuts that Rik described or a highlight, right click and hit copy/paste work for me.

Hi, and thanks to you both.  No, as I said in my other post, right-clicking doesn't work - it doesn't bring up an option to copy.  I've tried the Control options Rik suggested, but that doesn't work either.  I'm visiting my father, who has Windows Vista Home Basic, so maybe that's the problem. 

Rik

I don't use Vista, Krysia, but I would have expected the keyboard shortcuts to work still, they've been part of Windows for longer than I care to admit remembering. ;) Perhaps it's a security setting?
