Public bug reported:
I have to use an company account on MS Office 365 and prefer evolution
as the primary desktop client.
Unfortunately an event created by evolution using the EWS plugin
contains an incorrect TZID, so the event isn't shown at the desired time
on other clients, neither the Office 365 webfrontend nor an android
phone. Creation of an similar event on a google calendar works perfekt.
To localize the problem, I created similar events on the ews account and
the google account and exported the event as an ics-file.
Here is cutout from the event on the ews account, right after creating
the event with evolution. Please recognize the
"/freeassociation.sourceforge.net/Tzfile/"-part within the TZID:

IMHO the part "/freeassociation.sourceforge.net/Tzfile/" within the TZID
is not correct!
What causes this prefix of the TZID, and could this be fixed, so that
other clients determine the desired timezone of an event?
