Hello everybody,

during wintertime, I was really happy with Evolution (1.4.5, SuSE 8.2),
Multisync (0.81) and my S55.

Then the time-change came and the syncing screwed up. I realized that
today, when I had to upgrade to Evolution 1.4.6, since SuSE messed up
many Gnome dependencies and stuff, when I tried to install Gimp 2.0. I
guess I'll have to forget about that. :( But anyway, Multisync appears
more important to me:

I stopped checking the "Summertime" box on my S55, since that didn't
help nor it ever has (same thing a year before).

This is what I realized:

"summertime" box on S55 not checked, time set by hand. "fix broken ..."
in MS (multisync)  not checked
- during wintertime: everything is ok (events in summer- and wintertime)
- during summertime: events in wintertime are synched ok. summertime
events from s55 to evolution; times are shifted 2 hours into future (8
am becomes 10 am in evolution). no problem from evolution to s55! In
case of "complete database syncing" [appears once in a while]. All data
is fetched from the phone and then all evolution entries during
summertime are screwed up.

The "fix broken daylight saving time" in MS didn't help and didn't bring
any change. The "summertime" switch on the S55 made the times shifted 1
hour (instead of 2) from s55 to evolution. No problem in the other
direction. wintertime events will be shifted one hour! :(


As a table (no checkbox checked, neither "summertime" on S55 not the
fixing button in MS):

real time:    summer   summer    winter   winter
events time:  summer   winter    summer   winter
evo -> s55:   ok       ok        ok       ok
s55 -> evo:   +2       ok        ok       ok

I hope that's all correct, but after about an hour of testing and many
screwed up real events I became tired and afraid. And no, I forgot to
record the MS debug output.

May be one of you has had similar problems and can help me. Possibly
it's a MS, evolution or S55 problem, which MS will have to handle. ;)
