I will read your email as soon as I get a chance, but I have to add my voice to those saying "please, please, PLEASE someone fix this complete and utter disaster!" I was going to post a much more inflammatory rant about this than yours (although without any of your useful suggestions) today. Yesterday I had the excruciatingly embarrassing experience of walking into a conference room for an important meeting with important people at my company... about 3 minutes before everyone packed up their stuff to leave. I was an hour late!!! My Evo calendar said the meeting started at 3pm EDT, but everyone else's calendar said it started at 2pm. I went back and logged into Exchange OWA, and sure enough THAT calendar said 2pm as well. So, it's hard to understand how OWA knows the right date/time and Evolution, which uses data retrieved from OWA, doesn't. But, I've not really sat down to puzzle out how timezones are handled. It's really a brown-paper-bag situation that this should still be happening in Evolution well over a year after the timezone changes that caused the problems (in the US anyway) were approved. We run into this twice a year and it's still broken. I have many examples of Exchange meeting requests that do the wrong thing in Evo, if anyone needs them. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
