recurring events - wrong time

[Helga Mayer]

Hi list,

we have a problem with recurring events.  Set in May, for example, events
start one hour earlier after the clock change in October. The start and end
fields have no timezone. The display in webmail itself is correct. The
wrong time shows only when you fetch the events using a fat client like
sunbird, thunderbird or evolution. I didn't try outlook with funambol.
Is there anything configurable to avoid this situation ?

Regards
Helga Mayer

I've seen the same here, and I'd also be interested in a solution...

This does not happen in Outlook with Funambol and it does not happen in KDE Kontact, either.  I have not tested Evolution, but this is definitely a problem with fat clients.  It is no way the fault of Horde.

I can't find the relevant bug reports on Mozilla's bugtracker, but I know I've looked them up, and that they exist. :)

the problem occurs because horde is sending all it's timestamps in the
ics feeds in Universal Coordinated Time or Zulu time(as shown by the Z
at the end of the start times etc in the ics file).
I opened a bug with the mozilla project on this, but was told lightning
was doing the right thing and our server feed needed to to send
timestamps which denote timezones so that daylight saving calculations
can be accommodated. There are several related thunderbird bugs:-
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520843
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456521

There is also a Horde bug track open on this type of issue which may be
of use and could result in a fix if it's implemented:
http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7156

Hope this helps. It's a real pain that this happens and more so because
its hard to pin down which end is actually responsible for the
manifestation of the end result.

How do you fetch the data from Horde/Kronolith?
What is the release number of kronolith you are using?
If you export such a event and import it in the client store is the  
error still present?
