Probably not very often. But I don't think I'm a real enough calendar user to be able to say for sure. > So, have imported recurrences ever worked, then?

As you should have already seen, I just sent you a meeting invite from Outlook. If you accept it into your calendar, it will show up as a complex recurrence. You can never create a complex recurrence within Evolution, because what "complex" really means is "something that can't be represented by the recurrence widgets in the meeting editor". So you can only get them by accepting a meeting request or importing an ics file created in a client that lets you use recurrence rules that we don't. > > Not related to recurrences, but in that screenshot, the time selectors > > should probably not be visible at all if "all-day event" is checked?

Yeah, I didn't mean the widgets had no meaning, just that the numbers in them in that screenshot had no meaning. But I see your point about why it's good to have them visible. A good fix might be, in addition to disabling them, to set the start time to 00:00 and the end time to 24:00 (or their 12-hour-clock equivalents depending on preferences). > This feels to me like we're going to have find a balance between > absolute adherence to the ical spec, and creating a simple and usable > UI. "adherence to the ical spec" is a bit of a red herring. iCalendar is really big and there are bunches of things that are possible that we don't currently support, so allowing only a single alarm per appointment would not really make us less compliant (though we'd have to figure out what to do when you imported an appointment that had more than one alarm in it). > ... > What do you think? I'm not a heavy alarm user.
