Outlook Reminders Happening Too Soon

Question

In Outlook 2003, I flag an item (of type 'Post', which automatically saves back to my Inbox (the Post was created from a Mail item in the Inbox)) with a reminder for later in the day but as soon as I've closed the item the reminder dialog pops up (giving me default option to snooze for 5 minutes).

Anyone know why it's doing this and how I can change it so that the reminder will only pop up at the time I've actually set the reminder for?

On Outlook, it has an option to set your desired timezone, which can be different from the timezone you set for System.

Please check the option under Outlook->Options->Calendar->Timezone. And confirm it is the same as your System timezone (Control Panel->Date and Time->Timezone).
