Re: [Opensync-users] Evolution/opensync and timezones

[Conrad W. <con...@we...>]

Hi Norm,

I had the same problem with evolution. I didn't want to turn off
timezones in evo completely, because then evolution would always show a
wrong time (I use UTC on my system). For me it helped to select timezone
"none" in the appointment dialog whenever I create a new calendar entry.
This is not really nice, but it seems to work for the time being.

One other thing with evolution is that whenever I have to do a slow sync
(e.g. after using a timezone) all my calendar entries are duplicated in
evolution as well as on the phone (Nokia 6630). The slow sync work fine
for my contacts though. Any ideas where this comes from?

Conrad.
