Description Tristan Schmelcher 2008-12-18 08:01:54 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When creating "all day" events in Google Calendar via Evolution, the event is created as a regular event that just lasts 24 hours, as opposed to a proper "all day" event.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up a "Google" type calendar in Evolution.
2. Create an all day event in it.
3. Log in to Google Calendar's web UI and look at the event.

Actual results:
3. The event is a regular event that lasts 24 hours.

Expected results:
3. The event should be a special "all day"-type event, just as if the user had created an all day even through the Google Calendar web UI.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Note that for me the event does not quite start at 12 AM due to bug 559744.

I can confirm this bug. I've got the same problem.

Best Regards.

Me too, with Evo V 2.24.3

"all day" events doesn't work properly also in the opposite way: if you create a "all day" event in google calendar via the web interface, then Evolution is not able to sync this event and you will not see it in Evolution
