Description Louis van Dyk 2018-04-19 00:59:31 UTC

Description of problem:
I am in timezone GMT+2 (no DST). My colleague is in India.

If I am sent a one off meeting invite, the invite appears in my Evolution EWS calendar at the correct time.

If I am sent a recurring meeting invite, the invite appears in my Evolution EWS calendar at the SENDERS timezone time. e.g. For a meeting at 14h00 India time, the meeting appears in MY (GMT+2) calendar as 14h00 as well, whereas it should be 10h30. Now the odd thing is that if I open the message sent to the Exchange Inbox, where I can accept or deny the meeting, the correct local times are displayed.

In Outlook Web Access the meeting displays in the correct local times.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.26.6-1.fc27.x86_64
evolution-data-server-3.26.6-1.fc27.x86_64
evolution-data-server-langpacks-3.26.6-1.fc27.noarch
evolution-ews-3.26.6-1.fc27.x86_64
evolution-ews-langpacks-3.26.6-1.fc27.noarch
evolution-help-3.26.6-1.fc27.noarch
evolution-langpacks-3.26.6-1.fc27.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive a recurring meeting request from a user in another timezone.

Actual results:
Meeting displays in the calendar with their local time, not mine.

Expected results:
It should display in my local time.

Additional info:
I've stopped all Evolution processes and deleted all the files in ~/.cache/evolution/calendar but this didn't help. After restarting and the calendar resyncing, the meeting again appeared in the wrong place.

I don't know if it's relevant, but my colleague is from another company.  We are on two separate Exchange instances, with a federation between them.  He is on Office 365, and ours is in-house.

Thanks for a bug report. This had been filled already as bug #1547743, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it.
