Hi Group,
Has anyone experienced problems with disappearing appointments? I'm
getting reports that items appear on the Outlook Today and briefly on the
calendar but then disappear.
Looking via fetch-items, I'm seeing some subtle differences....

About the timezones, a.t.m, you cannot set timezones using
openchangeclient. And, what is displayed here is just a label (same in
Outlook). Internally, Exchange uses a different property altogether -
to identify timezone information. (Setting this property is quite a
task, since its no ID or a string-index, but a binary blob with some
weird structures within). This [1] is a pretty old list of values for
the same. I know that they altered/added a couple more with
Vista/Exchange 2007.
And after some digging around stumbled on....

An extra dt int parameter. Ponder if this parameter needs to be sent?
I'm not too sure about this. For WebDAV, this parameter is probably
required (/me remembers reading about CDO instance types for handling
recurring appointments/tasks). For MAPI though, handling recurring
appointments/tasks is by using another binary blob. More here [2].
Bottomline: pure MAPI may not use this property.
Cheers!,
