Importing

OK, please try this new addin-version:

The cause of your problem is the timezone definition of the calendar you are importing. Lightning doesn't support foreign timezones yet - this will probably be in version 0.8. Lightning shows your events OK, but when you try to edit one of it, it shows UTC as timezone. Exporting it gives MPE contradictory information - it is a whole day event that does not start on the beginning of a whole day in your timezone, and thus it shows up on the wrong day in MPE.

As a workaround, I changed the behaviour of the MPE-addin when exporting whole day events - they are now silently corrected to always fill a whole day in your local time zone, which is probably what people expect of whole day events...

thanks alot!
it works now for new all day events that i enter, is there any way to make it change the the all day events that are already in there? i tried forcing thunderbird->phone but it didn't change the events already on the phone in the wrong day

Sorry, MPE won't sync the events unless their modification time changes. You can edit them in Lightning to change their modification time. Or, you can change the synchronisation settings in MPE to "sync MPE only", delete the events in MPE and your handy, and then sync again with lightning.

No other way I can think of.
