Use of BST over GMT
I live in London meaning for half the year, using GMT is fine for me. But for the other half, we use British Summer time (BST), which is 1 hour ahead.
Is there anyway of enabling summer time on webmail? Changing my location to Paris doesn't work because they're actually on summer time. Does this mean that the UK is only location without a summer time option? I've now changed my Timezone to Portuguese time believe it or not... Quite amusing to be honest, but really should be fixed |

For timezone handling the Runbox Webmail depends on libraries included in the Linux operating system, and apparently the timezone associated with Europe/London (timezones are tied to cities, not countries) is GMT, not BST.
This might correct itself when we perform the long-awaited web server upgrade in the next few weeks -- otherwise we'll have to look into it further... - Geir |

I figured out that if you set your location to Lisbon/Portugal, then you get BST rather than GMT. Bit of a weird fix, but there you go.

Hi filbert,
In your account does your time zone show "Greenwich Mean Time" or "GMT - United Kingdom London Great Britain"? If it is the first of those two, change your country above where it shows time zone to something else, and then back to United Kingdom. You should then have 3 options for UK then and the second option above will give you the correct time in the webmail. Dave |

Yes it is.
We have now removed Great Britain so that United Kingdom is the one that is left. This is the option that gives you correct GMT/BST times if you select something other than the plain Greenwich Mean Time option. |
