"All Day Event" missing Time Zone information
I think I’ve found a Bug in Outlook 2003. I’ve noticed that under the right
circumstances an “all Day Event” meeting request shows up with the wrong time even when all the time zone settings are correct. To do some troubleshooting, I used one copy of Outlook 2003 SP2 installed on Windows XP SP2, and pointed to various e-mail servers using profiles. So the sending and receiving computer is the same so it’s not a Time Zone setting issue. When I setup an Outlook profile using my work exchange server and send an “all day event” meeting request to an account on a test exchange server, the all day event comes through properly showing as an all day event starting and ending on the same day. But when I setup an Outlook profile using POP/SMTP and pointing to the SMTP server on my work exchange server, and sending to an account on the test exchange server, the meeting comes through as a regular meeting starting at 7:00 PM the day before and ending on 7:00 PM the day of the all day event. That 5 hour difference is the difference between EST (where all of these machines are located) and GMT. If I open the meeting request messages using notepad by browsing to the Exchange M: drive (I’ve re-enabled it on the test exchange 2003 server), I can see that the messages sent using Outlook setup with an Exchange Profile have all sorts of time zone information in them, but the messages sent using Outlook setup with a POP/SMTP profile have virtually no Time Zone info. Does anyone have any Idea why Outlook neglects to insert the time zone information in “All Day Event” meeting requests sent using POP/SMTP profiles? This problem doesn’t happen if I create regular appointments with start and end times. They come through with the Time Zone info they way they should. Thanks for the help, this problem has been really killing me when dealing with people who use POP/SMTP, like anyone at home. |
