Discrepancy between timestamps viewed on Microsoft Web Mail vs the timestamps on the emails downloaded using exchangelib.

Problem Description : When I log into my shared mailbox using my ASIAPAC credentials , I can view the timestamps on my email which is consistent with what other members of the mailbox can see, these users are in domains other than ASIAPAC.
But when I download these emails into my database, I clearly see that there is an additional 4 hours added to the timestamp of the email.
Could you kindly suggest a method where I can download these emails , keeping the original timestamps intact. I don't want these timestamps to change according to my local time zone.
I have tried setting the "default_timezone" parameter in the Exchange server user accounts class parameter to 'None' and even to the time zone where the particular mailbox is located using EWStimezone(key=), still it shows the timestamps with an offset of 4 hours.
Is there a way to actively ignore the time zone information and get the timestamps as it if from the shared mailbox.
To debug this, you'll need to provide the code you use to download emails, and examples of timestamp discrepancies.
Possibly related to #541. Do you see that warning when downloading emails?
Closing. Feel free to reopen if you get time to revisit this.
