SYMPTOMS
========

When you migrate a Lotus Notes user from the Traditional Chinese (CHT) version
with the calendar set to Taiwanese and who has sent items in the Sent folder to
the U.S. version of Exchange Server, the sent date of these messages will be
incorrect when viewed on Exchange Server using Outlook.

When you compare the migrated Sent Time on Exchange Server to the original Sent
Time from Notes, the Exchange Server time is shifted eight hours back.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange Server version 5.5.


MORE INFORMATION
