Then they'd be correct, right? The meeting was actually at 18:00 GMT?Hi, let's call it UTC, not GMT, to have same terminology as in RFC.
I sometimes like to use 'GMT' just to reinforce the "GMT does *not* mean UK time" message. :)
Date/time stored this way, without timezone, is called "floating" [1], which means that it's in your case between 18 - 19 in whatever timezone you see the event. If you read the section at [1] carefully, then you'll notice that it's not good to use floating times, thus I'd say that the phone software is a bit lazy (though it depends on actual data received from the Exchange server). A bug on evolution's side might be that it doesn't convert the time to your Europe/Oslo timezone, but rather to UTC,
It's allowed to convert it to UTC. And as I said, I'd usually expect *Exchange* do to that for a non-recurring meeting anyway.
and then convert it to Europe/Oslo,
When you display a meeting, it's always converted to the local timezone, whatever that happens to be at the time. -- dwmw2
