Package: evolution
Version: 2.22.3.1-1
Severity: normal


Hello,

the evolution calendar has a problem with summertime in following
scenario:

1. Evolution is connected with an M$ Exchange Server
2. An outlook user sends a date proposal

The message is display with a difference in time of one hour. But if you
send a confirmation, the outlook users will get the correct time set in
the confirmation mail.

The problem is, that the evolution calendar stores the wrong time in the
calendar and does not display the correct time. This results in problems
to share meeting appointments.

But in other case, if you send a date proposal, the time settings are
correct. 

Because I rechecked the problem by using outlook instead of evolution,
all appointments seems to be fine. The problem does not occur if the
computers operating in winter time. The VCS-file sent by outlook seems
to be ok in both cases, therefore I would say the problem is on the
evolution side of communication, IMHO.

Bye Andreas
