Configuring time zone, time format, and date format
The time zone in the webmail clients allows you to view the time and dates in messages in your local time zone. By default, both webmail clients are configured to detect your time zone automatically from your device.
- The time and date format options allow you to change how the time and date will be displayed in the webmail clients.
Depending on your webmail client of choice, the process of changing your time zone, time format, and date format will vary:
