Re: [Evolution] Evolution Scheduling Issue.

I currently am using EWS through DavMail.   I am suspecting the issue is the older version of exchange being used.

        Hi,

do you use evolution-ews or EWS through DavMail? I ask, because it

makes a big difference. The evolution-ews talks to the Exchange server

directly. It had an off-by-one hour error(s) too, the 3.38.2 should

contain all the current changes in this regard.

When they are received by a person using Outlook,  The time is being

shifted off by an hour.  Goggling shows this to be related to the

Timezone in the invite.

Right, it can be due to the time zone. I suppose your example:

     TZID=3DAmerica/New_York:20201216T100000

reflects the expected time, at 10AM of the America/New_York time zone,

right? If yes, I'm afraid the Exchange server doesn't like "expanded"

timezone definition. Some servers do that. There used to be an option

in libical to "not use exact timezones", but it's gone for some time

now.

The evolution-ews doesn't pass libical timezones into the server, thus

maybe give it a try, if it's not used by you yet.

        Bye,

        Milan
