Incorrect meeting times in Apple's iCal

[achow]

Hi,

I have upgraded and tested and it is still bad.

What can we do next?

File a bug in bugzilla with the ical file that causes the problem and steps to reproduce the bug.

Hi Kelvin,

Some how after reading the forum at
http://forums.macnn.com/archive/index.php/t-122957.html (reading starting when gralem found out that it was outlook having a problem)
i found out that if I take the ics file and remove the ;TZID=%timezone% at the DTSTART line (like what is mentioned on the link), all the times are working.

It seems that with "time zone support" turn on in MAC ical, zimbra cannot recognize the TZID=Asia/Singapore.

Try and let me know. Maybe sunbird does not generate that portion.

Cheers,

adrian

Hi Kelvin,

Sorry about all the crap. I think it is a apple ical problem. They generate a TZID=Asia/Singapore whereas the "standards" link below require TZID=/Asia/Singapore.

I have tweak the ical file to have a slash in front and all works well.

Do you agree that I should tell Apple about it and it is not a zimbra issue?

Yes but I'd also argue Zimbra should be able to handle this case as iCal is a popular client and we want to have the best Apple desktop support possible. Please file the bug with all the information you've been able to find. thanks!

Hi,

Filed it as bug #7335. Hope someone in zimbra will provide a quick fix soon.
