Dear Maintainer,

today I finally managed to sync my Nokia E71 to Evolution 3.0.3.
This is great! I have been trying to do this on and off for
years...

But there is a slight problem: when I create a recurring event in
Evolution, and it is parallel to another event already known to
the E71, the time of the new event is changed. E.g. I have an
existing event on the 5th at 18:00 and add a recurring event on 1,
3, 5, 7 and 9 at 19:30. Now the E71 shows the new event at 19:30 on
the 1st and 3rd, and at 18:30 on the 5th and 7th. The last event
is correct at 19:30 again.

Maybe this is somehow a matter of time zones? I'm in Berlin, GMT
+2.

Thanks for your effort...

Michael Below

Good that you finally found a solution before you replace the E71 ;-)

Are you sure that this only happens if there is such an overlap with an
existing event? In other words, if you remove that one-time event and
then create the recurring one, does the recurring event still not
display right?

Time zones can cause such issues in particular around the transitions
between standard and daylight saving time. But I have never heard of
such an interaction between events. This month we are also safely back
to standard, non-daylight saving time.
