Hi guys,

I could really use some advice please.

I'm using sogo 4.1.1 (@shiva2.inverse 201911280300) on Ubuntu 18.04.4 
with a mixed environment of Mozilla Thunderbird versions from 68 or so
through to 71, and some phones, apple and android. We aren't a big site,
12 users, with maybe 8 phones connected.

Today following an update to the server (Ubuntu standard update), and an
increase to WOWorkersCount and PREFORK all day events have started
behaving oddly (I don't thing it can be the config change, but since
it's a change I'm mentioning it

The behaviour is that instead of showing at the top of the calendar in
Thunderbird, they now get treated as 24 hour events. This is a
significant issue for us as there are a lot of shared diaries, and we
use all day events quite a bit.  The web version of SOGo works fine.

It's odd as it seems to be applying to all versions of Thunderbird, but
there have been no updates to Thunderbird, so it appears to be how SOGo
is treating all day requests as standard from Thunderbird.  When these
events are opened in SOGo web interface they do not register as all day
events.

Thanks

John

Do you use ActiveSync?

Which timezones have you set on Thunderbird clients and sogo.conf and
user settings?

Please give an example in raw form.

One event created from SOGo Webfrontend which is not displayed as all
day event in Thunderbird.

If the event is created within the SOGo Webfrontend it is displayed correctly within thunderbird and SOGo.  If the event is then edited within Thunderbird or a new event is created within Thunderbird then the event no long displays correctly in either SOGo or Thunderbird. 

And one event created in Thunderbird, which is not displayed in SOGo
webfrontend as all day.

This is an iRedmail installation of SOGo, updated through Ubuntu apt upgrade.  We do not have any outlook clients currently.  We use android with webdav and imap, and have a few iPhones which connect using whatever dark arts apple use - so I don't think so, but I don't actually know.

Timezone in Thunderbird is Europe/London

SOGoTimeZone in sogo.conf is "Europe/London"

Many thanks

John Stirling

Kind regards,
Christian Mack
