Description Charles Bovy 2010-10-26 13:39:33 UTC 
Evo 2.32.0
Evo-MAPI 0.32.0

Evo-MAPI can't handle birthdays before 01/01/1970. The Contact-Editor changes date back to 01/01/1970 if you want to enter date before 1970.

ema patch

for evolution-mapi;

Not as that much evolution-mapi issue, rather samba4's, because they clamp time_t to some range when converting from exchange's FILETIME structure. This patch workarounds the issue on the ema side. I do not know why exactly, but when writing times to birthday/anniversary there were shifted by one day for me (when seeing in Outlook). I think I miss here something obvious about mktime, like it's using system timezone or something, but I cannot find it. I'm adding one day to the actual value right now.
