Although the described problem ticket is a little bit older, I faced  
the same problem today. After some research I discovered the following  
reason for the "wrong e-mail time" in Horde on my system:
Some of the Zoneinfo files of my CentOS distribution are not correct.
When I look under /usr/share/Zoneinfo/,
the file for the timezone "Europe/Berlin" contains the variable  
EST5EDT (referencing to Eastern Standard Time),
while the file for the timezone "Europe/Stockholm" contains the  
variable CET-1CEST (referencing to Central European Time).
When I choose the timezone Europe/Berlin, all e-mail times shown in  
Horde are wrong. When I choose Europe/Stockholm instead, everything is  
fine.
So, in my case, it is not a Horde problem but a problem of the Linux version.
I can recommend everyone to have a look into the Zoneinfo files if  
Horde shows the wrong time, and to switch to a timezone that suits the  
needs.
Regards and many thanks to the developers of Horde,
Carsten
