Public bug reported: The IMAP4rev1 option for receiving mail is broken, unsupported, unnecessary, outdated and confusing. Evolution developers seem to agree at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324118 that it should never have been included in a stable release. We really shouldn't have it

The obvious way to fix this would be to add a entry to each city in Locations.xml. Unfortunately, that would be a very tedious task. It may be better to add timezone information to locations where the distance code gives the incorrect result, and use the distance code as a default. -- Clock app

Of course, it is almost impossible to write code that works perfectly without any testing. The patches here should now work. I'm not happy with this solution, however. It seems as though it requires a huge amount of work in updating Locations.xml, in a rather unfortunate way. It could certainly be

I agree that the solution is rather wanting, and believe that the timezone-guessing code is something that does not belong in any release. The idea of it not selecting a timezone at all is interesting: it would be very easy to do - I can make the patch if necessary - and wouldn't require any extra
