Hi all, I (also) am having problems with getting the correct event time
when syncing the calendar (Evolution <-> IrMC (with T310)) and after
reading several posts on this subject I thought I'd also bother you
folks...

I have tried several approaches, even setting both computer and phone to
UTC time (although my local time is GMT+1). This is NOT a solution for
me.

Yes, I have seen the "Fix broken daylight savings time handling" in the
IrMC plugin, and tried both settings.

It seems to me there are several issues to keep in mind when doing this
sort of time handling - times should be set correctly for:
* One time events.
* Recurring events that start in one daylight saving zone and ends in
another.
* Events with a reminder (the alarm time seems to shift in a different way
than the event when the daylight workaround is activated)
* (Maybe also handledifferent time zones on the sync pair)

Is there any developer who reads this and would like to fix the current
code?

I suggest making a smart "test calendar" and post it here (so that one can
simply put it in ~/evolution/local/Calendar/calendar.ics, log out, log in
and then sync)

- I would be glad to report on how i works in the current version of
multisync (see below)

[that is as soon as I get my phone back from the service center; the
battery went flat during a test sync yesterday and the phone kind of died.
When trying to power it on, it went off after five secs and then
automatically on, and then off, repeating itself forever... So, the T310
can actually be killed through the IR-port...spooky. Guess it will be back
in my custody within three days ;)]


This is my current setup:
Redhat 9.0 (Kernel 2.6.4)
KDE 3.1
Evolution 1.4.6
Multisync 0.81
IrDA: SigmaTel STIr4200 IR-dongle (Vendor: 66f)
Phone: Sony Ericsson T310
(guess this applies for T600 and all other SE phones)

Timezone on computer:
        KDE Control Center: GMT+1 (Norway/Oslo)
        Evolution:  GMT+1 (Norway/Oslo)
Timezone on mobile: GMT+1
Current daylight saving: Winter time (no time shift)



Best regards
