[Fri Jul 23 17:15:31 2010] [error] [client ] PHP Warning:  date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings.
You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function.
In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.
We selected ‘Asia/Calcutta’ for ‘IST/5.0/no DST’ instead in /IlohaMail/include/ryosimap.inc on line 117, referer:

Solution:

1. Edit the php.ini file and Set the correct time zone.
The default location of the file is /etc/php.ini

#vim /etc/php.ini

2. Search for ‘timezone’ in php.ini file and change it as show below

;date.timezone =
to
date.timezone = “America/New_York”
or whatever specific timezone you are in.
