wrong time stamp on filtered message

I have a lot of subfolders and filters. It was not so long time ago that messages in a certain subfolder began to bear wrong time stamp. Say, for example, it is 22:20 now but it appears 13:20 received. And only filtererd messages in that certain subfolder look wrong, none of other messages. I use Fastmail and time stamp is all correct on the web, but not on Thunderbird. Don't know why? Any help would be appreciated.

You say it does not make sense. So Mail from how many people are affected? I assumed one, but if you think your looking for something more far reaching that someone buying a new device and not configuring it properly then what do you think is happening. Keep in mind that filters work the same way now as they have for a very long time. They do not get a lot of changes

Thunderbird uses the sent time. My guess the sender in the folder has not correctly configured daylight saving on their device. so thir mail is an hour off.

Thank you Matt, but it doesn't make sense, as I have been using thunderbird for years and never had this problem before until recently.

Now it is back to normal. It has been just about a week and I did not do anything, as I really did not know what to do. Problem solved, anyway.
