[Bug 845760] Re: Evolution meeting requests have wrong times

 

Further use shows that the odd time behavior does, in fact, persist in
Evolution 3.2.0 on Oneiric, at least for evolution-mapi.  Yesterday I
was CC'ed on another invitation for the same 1:30 PM meeting I had
previously accepted.  This duplicate information was distributed via
WebEx, to provide the call-in information for those out of the office.
The WebEx meeting information did not display as 1:30 PM in Evolution.
Rather, this meeting was displayed as 9:30 AM!  Since I was skeptical,
but yet concerned that there was a second meeting earlier in the
morning, I restarted the machine to open Windoze and view the Calendar
in Outlook.  Sure enough, the meeting was displayed correctly, and
slotted correctly in the Outlook Calendar as a second meeting at 1:30PM!

I do not get the functionality I need out of Thunderbird added with
Oneiric (and although I do use Thunderbird on another computer at home
under Windows 7, I do not like the UI in Linux.)  And I am getting very
frustrated with the reliability of Evolution in my office use.  It is
hard to believe that OWA provides a better user experience!

Title:
  Evolution meeting requests have wrong times

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I get meeting requests at work (via MAPI plugin, Exchange 2003) and
  the times are always off. The meeting might be at noon but Evo thinks
  it's five hours later. My time zone settings are correct, I've double-
  checked.
