I use gSyncit 64-bit for Microsoft Outlook v4.2.275.0 to synchronize Outlook 2010 (Version: 14.0.7177.500, 64-bit) to Nextcloud 11.0.1
When synchronizing an appointment (a transatlantic flight) set up in Outlook starting in a time zone -0500 GMT and ending (the next day) in a time zone +0100 GMT the time offsets are not correctly synchronized:
Departure: 27FEB, 21:15 (time zone -0500 GMT)
Arrival: 28FEB, 14:15 (time zone +0100 GMT)
Outlook correctly displays the starting time as 28FEB 03:15 as I’m in Europe.
Nextcloud incorrectly displays starting time as 28FEB 09:15 (which probably results from incorrectly assuming that the “28FEB 03:15” entry corresponds to the origin -0500 GMT time zone).
I contacted the gSyncit developer and he says:
"I checked the gSyncit source code and we do split the start/end time zone information when we submit the event to the CalDav server…
Based on the data you have provided….
The Outlook event shows the correct information …
DTEND;TZID=“W. Europe Standard Time”:20170228T141500
DTSTART;TZID=“SA Pacific Standard Time”:20170227T211500
gSyncit will map these time zones to…
OutlookTimeZone id=“W. Europe Standard Time” ical="Europe/Berlin"
OutlookTimeZone id=“SA Pacific Standard Time” ical=“America/Bogota”
But in nextCloud they appear as …
DTEND;TZID=America/Bogota:20170228T141500
DTSTART;TZID=America/Bogota:20170228T031500
"
Originating a test appointment in Nextcloud and transfering it to Outlook results in the mirrored effect. That is, it is displayed correctly in Nextcloud and incorrectly in Outlook (but differently: the appointment doesn’t seem to contain any time zone information).
Will appreciate any help on correcting this behavior
Thanks
