Description Milan Crha 2015-08-12 06:55:43 UTC 
This had been raised on the evolution-list mailing list [1].

The OWA interface shows all-day events created by the Evolution incorrectly, while Outlook shows them correctly.

Comment 1 Milan Crha 2015-08-12 06:57:26 UTC 
After some investigation of the server behavior and the EWS protocol, the protocol requires both Start and End times being stored as xs:dateTime, which means using both the date and the time for the event, though the iCalendar component itself doesn't hold this information, thus the evolution-ews stores the times in the default time zone, which is UTC. By editing the event in the OWA interface the timezone is updated to the one which is set in the OWA, thus it "fixes" the event.

The EWS part is missing some details, which I committed as:
