Description Graham Smith 2005-02-24 03:49:18 UTC

Version:           1.1 Beta 2 (using KDE 3.3.92 (beta2) Level "a" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.11-default

I have received an email generated by Lotus Notes displaying incorrect date/time for a meeting. The meeting is planned for 28th of February at 10:00 AM whereas the email indicates the meeting is on 27th of Feb at 18:00.

The difference in time is 16 hours. This problem is also present in earlier Kmail versions.

The following is the content of the attachment follows. I have changed the email addresses contained herein.

Comment 1 Toivo Pedaste 2005-05-24 10:12:11 UTC

It happens to me as well, it seems to be ignoring the time zone and using the time in GMT.

Please, report your kmail and korganizer version. There was some improvements 
about times zones since last release.

Comment 3 Matt Douhan 2005-05-25 00:26:52 UTC

I wonder if this is related to the Freebusy issues that also ignores TZ?

Comment 4 Toivo Pedaste 2005-05-25 03:06:35 UTC

The version I'm having the trouble with is  3.4 from Kubantu

Comment 5 Graham Smith 2005-06-14 19:45:25 UTC

I have narrowed down the problem to kmail not identifying the time zone correctly. From my experimentation it appears the best way to overcome the problem is to ignore the TZID setting. 

The following is an except of an email I received today.

DTSTART;TZID="AUS Eastern":20050623T140000
DTEND;TZID="AUS Eastern":20050623T150000

This is displayed as 
Start Time:  22/06/2005 22:00
  End Time:  22/06/2005 23:00
  Duration:  1 hour 


If I remove 'TZID="AUS Eastern":' part from the above entries the date and time are displayed correctly. 
Start Time:  23/06/2005 14:00
  End Time:  23/06/2005 15:00
  Duration:  1 hour

This is using the SuSE kdepim3-3.4.1-3.i586.rpm

Regards
Graham Smith

Comment 6 Andy Goss 2006-12-06 03:56:41 UTC

Similar thing has happened to me, but this seems to be from Exchange. I am using standard issue Kontact 1.2, Kmail 1.9.1, Korganizer 3.5 on SUSE 10.1.

Comment 7 Thomas McGuire 2007-03-19 13:20:25 UTC

AFAIK this is a KOrganizer problem.
See bug 109756.
