New submission from Gavin Hamill <gdh at laterooms.com>:
I originally mailed this to Joon directly, but it may be a more general thing.
I'm using Outlook 2000 with the gold release of Kolab 2.0 and Toltec Connector
RC4 - I'm having extreme bother with recurring appointments.
e.g. I create a new item in my calendar, add
'meeting.room at groupware.laterooms.com' as a participant (their freebusy
appears in outlook OK), set it to recur every Wednesday from 10th Aug onwards
at 1300-1330, and press Send.
I see the normal activity in kolab's postfix.log, and I get an email reply
from kolab saying that Meeting Room has accepted my invitation.
(Meeting Room is a 'resource' account Kolab user which auto accepts if there
is no conflict)
If I look at the source of the email in Meeting Room's 'Calendar' IMAP folder
I see this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<event version="1.0">
<uid>040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E00800000000703F24604998C501000000000000000010000000A8D98009122ACA4D82E690FB3061AE32</uid>

<range type="none"/>
</recurrence>
</event>
Note the start-date and end-date - they are complete nonsense :(((
Now when I look at the source for
http://freebusy:freebusy@groupware/freebusy/meeting.room@groupware.laterooms.com.ifb
it takes 15 seconds to think.. and then I see this:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//proko2//freebusy 1.0//EN METHOD:PUBLISH VERSION:2.0

FREEBUSY:19700124T235959Z/19700124T235959Z
and so on, for every week until September 2005!
Help! :)
