Summary0002707: Wrong Time/timezone for accepted event showing in iPhone and Thunderbird, shows correct in SOGo web GUI
Description

User was invited to an event from someone on the West Coast (PST).

The external organizer set the event time to 8:00am PST.

She accepted the event on her iPhone.

The event was added to her calendar, but shows in both their iPhone and Thunderbird as being scheduled for 8:00am EST, when it should show 4:00am EST.

Timezone is set correctly in iPhone, Thunderbird and SOGo, and interestingly the event does display correctly as scheduled for 4:00am in their SOGo web GUI...

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Have organizer send invitation to event from West Coast/PST timezone.

  2. Accept invitation on iPhone

  3. Note that the time the event shows scheduled for on the iPhone (and in Thunderbird with Integrator) is the wrong time (shows as the same time as the organizer, but in the participants timezone, which is wrong).

Additional Information

iPhone 5S, iOS version 7.1

As I said, also displaying incorrectly in Thunderbird 24.4, Lightning 2.6.4, SOGo Connector/Integrator versions 24.0.4.

TagsNo tags attached.

Oops...

It was not an iPhone 5S, just the plain 5...

Sorry...

Ok, the problem only occurs when she accepts the invite on her iPhone. When she accepts it from Thunderbird, the time is displayed correctly.

Also, I was wrong earlier...

When she accepts it on her iPhone, the time displayed in SOGo web UI is way wrong - it shows 4:00am for an 8:00am PST event, when it should have showed 11:00am EST.

Can you show the raw source (vCalendar) of the event once the participant has accepted the invitation? You can view the raw source by ctrl-clicking on the event in the Web interface.

Thanks... I would, but apparently she manually changed the date/time (or deleted/re-added the event with the right date/time), because I don't see it in her calendar any more.

First I'm going to try to find a way to reproduce this locally so we don't have to bug her business contact to help in troubleshooting.

If I can't, I'll ask him if he is ok with helping just a little more... he seems nice enough, so I don't think it will be a problem.

Ok, I forgot we did a few more tests, and there is still one in the calendar displaying the wrong date/time...

This one was scheduled for 2:00pm PST, and is displaying as 10:00am EST, when it should be 5:00pm EST...

So... did that help disclose the problem?

This event does not contain a timezone at all!!!

Start and End are not in GMT/UTC either (mizzing 'Z'-character at the end):
DTSTART:20140411T140000
DTEND:20140411T143000

SOGo seems to read these as GMT/UTC.
Shouldn't it read them as "local" time, which would be EST here?
(This would still be wrong, but seems to be more logical, at least for me.)

But more important, who stripped the timezone in such a crappy way?

SOGo will read them as local time, not UTC.

It would read them as UTC if a Z was ending the date-time.

So... this appears to be a bug that happens for invitations received from someone using Exchange when the invite is accepted on an iOS 7.1 device?

Also, as I said, invites from this person that are accepted from Thunderbird+Integrator show up correctly.

To summarize:

  1. Invites from the outside user (using Exchange) are accepted correctly from Thunderbird+Integrator, and display the correct time in SOGo, Thunderbird and the iPhone.

  2. The same invites from the same outside user are broken when accepted from an iOS 7.1 device (iPhone at least):

    a) SOGo displays the time as Organizer timezone - 4hours (ie, 8:00am PST event displays as 4:00am in SOGo which is set to EDT timezone)

    b) Thunderbird displays the time at the same time as the Organizer timezone (ie, 8:00am), with Thunderbird set to EDT timezone

So, there is a serious discrepancy here somewhere...

Can we arrange for the person who has been helping us to invite one of the SOGo developers directly, so you guys can properly troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Charles

Closing this one for now, we'll track only 2865 as more details are in there.
