We addressed a number of issues in the 5.0.3 betas dealing with  
timezone issues. You can read the release notes to see what is fixed:  
<http://www.markspace.com/testing/releasenotes_ms_palm.html>. I  
recommend you download the latest beta from: <http:// 
www.markspace.com/testing/>. Without feedback, we definitely can't  
fix issues customers have.
