I spent quite a bit of time learning how to do this with SquirrelMail.. First of all, SquirrelMail doesn't do much work with handling timezone offsets - it sets TZ to the text string that you're selecting under Options -> Personal Information, and depends on the OS to get the offset right.
It's mainly up to your OS to handle the offset, and in my situation, not all of the 537 timezones in squirrelmail/locale/timezones.cfg were recognized by my OS (Solaris). If all you need to do is switch your timezone, go to Options -> Personal Information and try picking one in the pull down menu labelled "Your current timezone" If you want to clean this list up, or add the timezones to your OS, check out the man page on 'zic' - time zone compiler. What I found on Solaris was a directory /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src where I had enough examples such that I could go as far as inventing my own timezones and use zic to "compile" it.. and I used this to reduce the 537 timezones down to about 155 more prominent locations.. 537 items makes for a really long drop down menu! http://www.swissinfo.net/cgi/worldtime/ and http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ may be helpful for learning more about timezones and what the offsets are. -- Chris Winterrowd Unix E-mail Administrator Texas Instruments Inc.
