Hi, aha, pity they do not support any timezone, though I understand it's easier for them to understand only UTC and nothing else. Try whether you are able to store your own elements in the XML on the server, and if so, then I would add there a location of the timezone user used for the event, and when parsing back from XML then convert times to that timezone too. If they'll reject your own elements, then it'll be bad and you would have no option to keep user's timezone on component. Also note of e_cal_backend_set_default_zone and e_cal_backend_internal_get_default_timezone; I would extend usage of the default timezone to convert UTC times of events to this timezone, if the user's timezone is not present. Though it'll be better to do some testing whether such extension wouldn't bring more trouble than gain.
