#346 Events created in COT (timezone) appear in incorrect time

[Luis Rueda]

Events created by iCal and synced to exchange using DavMail that use Colombia Time (COT) appear in incorrect timezone on other devices (iPad, iPhone, Android) while events created in Peru Time (PET) which has the exact same timezone appear correctly on all devices.

I think the timezone translation table is translating COT to EST which is incorrect because COT does not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Since I am new to this bug creation, please advise on which logs to capture.

iCalTimezone support is poor and I had to create a timezone name table to improve iCal support, however this should not impact iCal created events, only events created on the Exchange side.

For iCal created events, the timezone is computed by Exchange from VTIMEZONE content.

Can you please provide a log file at my private address mguessan@free.fr ?

[Luis Rueda]

Sure I can, should I send the output of the davmail.log fie, creating both an event in the timezone that works and another one in the timezone that doesn´t?

[Mickael Guessant]

You can, you could also check VTIMEZONE content sent by by iCal and Timeoneid computed by Exchange

Full Timezone table included in 4.0.0

I know this is an old ticket, but I see that it's still in pending-fixed and I'm running into this. My mail client is sending the timezone "America/Chicago", however DavMail is sending "Central Standard Time". When the event is looked at in Outlook the timezone is "Central America" and my events are an hour later than they should be. So it seems like the timezone translation table isn't quite right.

Fixed in trunk: map America/Chicago to Central Standard Time instead of Central America Standard Time

I just grabbed 4.8.5 and it appears to be working for me. I'll keep testing it this week.

[Jon Schewe (BBN)]

I haven't seen anymore problems this week. I suggest that this ticket be closed.
