Re: [Evolution] Time drift in Evolution when entering

[Vidar Evenrud Seeberg <web infosikring no>]

Hello, and thanks for replying, everybody!

I am not sure if it is best to reply inline or on the top. Here goes "on 
the top" (please advice otherwise):

- My version of Evolution is 3.4.4 (sorry, me amateur forgetting that)
- It's only when entering an appointment on my phone it drifts in 
Evolution. When entering an appointment using Outlook or OWA, it 
displays correctly in Evolution
- I am not totally convinced that the problem is entirely on the phone 
since appointments entered on my phone displays correctly in Outlook and 
OWA. It's only in Evolution they drift, and only when appointments are 
entered on the phone.
- Edit - Preferences - Calendar and Tasks: Timezone set to system, which 
is Europe/Oslo
- System time zone is Europe/Oslo and NTP is enabled.

Any ideas? Appreciate any help since I really like Evolution

Best regards

charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hello! Sorry for eventually breaking 
any conventions... I am new to using such support options... :) 
Configuration: - Evolution on Linux Mint Debian edition, MATE desktop - 
Corporate Exchange 2010 server - Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.2 
using stock SPlanner and Touchdown My problem: I am experiencing a 
strange problem when entering an appointment in my Galaxy S3 using 
either Touchdown or the stock SPlanner. When the appointment is synced 
to Exchange 2010 it all displays correctly in MS Outlook and Outlook Web 
Access. However, when opening Evolution on my computer the appontment 
has drifted two hours forward. E.g when entering an appointment at 10 am 
on the S3 it shows up at 8 am in Evolution. The other way around, 
everything syncs OK: entring an appointment in Evolution syncs perfectly 
back to S3/Touchdown. I live in Norway, which currently is at time zone 
Norway/Oslo (+2). Both my phone and my PC are set up with this time 
zone. Any ideas where to start looking? Best regards globus68
