thunderbird showing wrong date in the "Date" column
Thunderbird has been working perfectly for more than a year. However, since a few days ago, it stopped showing the correct date in the "Date" column of the email list. Instead, it now shows the time when the emails were downloaded from the email server to my computer.
For example, if my friend sent me an email at 7 a.m., and I opened thunderbird to check my emails at 9:30, thunderbird would now show 9:30 in the "Date" column, not the correct 7:00.
Interestingly, in the lower-middle section of thunderbird, below the "Reply, Reply All, Forward, Archive, Junk, Delete" buttons, it would show the correct time (7:00).
I've checked the email header. It does have a "Date:" header with the correct time.
Received: from cstnet.cn (smtp21.cstnet.cn [159.226.251.21]) by m122-177.yeah.net (HMail) with ESMTP id 89C02C4021D; Thu, 24 Jul 2014 09:43:14 +0800 (CST) Received: from [106.56.145.34] (unknown [106.56.145.34]) by app1 (Coremail) with SMTP id RgCowJD7r8evZNBTIKf9AA--.177S2; Thu, 24 Jul 2014 09:43:11 +0800 (CST) Message-ID: <53D064B3.1040103@bao.ac.cn> Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2014 09:43:15 +0800
Any solutions?
P.S. I'm not a native English speaker, so please forgive me for any spelling/grammatical errors, and let me know if you find my post unclear or need more information. Thank you.

Check the date/time and Timezone on your computer. (Perhaps someone has inadvertently moved you some hours east or west.)
Matt, thank you for your reply.
But I doubt it's a timezone problem, and I've checked that the date/time are set correctly on my computer.
Maybe I haven't made it clear. Let me rephrase it: in the "Date" column, thunderbird now displays the time when the emails were downloaded from the server to my computer, instead of the time when the emails were sent to my mail server.
So, if I open thunderbird at 10:00, the "Date" column of all newly received emails would just show "10:00", even if those emails have arrived at my mail server days earlier.
