Description Nir Dremer 2005-09-28 11:52:47 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Gentoo


When receiving a meeting request from outlook exchange account (this is the
source i checked with it might be larger problem), the meeting is being sent in
Asia/Jerusalem time, recieved in Asia/Jerusalem time (meeting email shows
GMT+2:00)Jerusalem.

The meeting is being added at one hour late than supposed to ...

The most suspicious element is that when i double click on the meeting, the
meeting is shown as in Harare/Pretoria.

Checking in bugzilla i found a bug about outdated ics files, updated mine.. but
it didnt help... i believe it's wrong detection of timezone.

hi nir, is this a duplicate of bug 314124?
Comment 2 Nir Dremer 2005-09-30 05:21:55 UTC 
sorry to say it, but this is another bug ;-)
Comment 3 Chenthill P 2005-10-03 20:33:16 UTC 
Moving it to exchange component.
Comment 4 Nir Dremer 2005-10-03 21:54:52 UTC 
I found this problem to be a bit wider (tested with pop3 server):

When i send a meeting request from outlook through an exchange server which
sends it to pop3 server, when received in evolution (through pop3) the time
information in the e-mail meeting description is already an hour later than
supposed to.

It might be a different bug, but i think there's a big problem with timezones
and receiving mails written by exchange/outlook.
