I will check this evening. However, one post says Evolution uses System
time and not BIOS time. Don't know how to find BIOS time for the phone,
but I will google a bit for it

Our Exchange server is 2010 and the timezone for the server is UTC+1 +
summertime, which altogether should be summarized to my computers' and
my phone's +2 timezone

Could there be Evolution looking at other time information than phone,
OWA and Outlook looks at? (Not sure what I am asking about, but could it
be more than one time/date field "living" in Exchange 2010 server, where
OWA, Outlook and phone looks at one field while Evolution looks at
another)?

Thank you. Comforting to see that it is not just me.... Our Exchange
server is 2010 and the timezone for the server is UTC+1 + summertime,
which altogether should be summarized to my computers and my phone's +2
timezone. I will ask the IT management department if there is a possible
upgrade up front.
