I'd guess your timezone setting in Lightning is not correct.

just to clarify, I'm in NY GMT -5 we are still on daylight savings time, my phone, computer, and lighting are all set to GMT -5, i dont see a setting in lighting regarding the daylight savings time.

Well, you timezone setting in the lightning preferences should say America/New_York.

So, let's check versions: You should be using:

- Thunderbird 2.0.0.6
- Lightning 0.7
- MPE 1.6.3 and the MPE-Thunderbird addin contained there

Furthermore:

- Create a test event that shows the abnormal behaviour you described
- Open a command line window, cd into thunderbird's program directory
- execute the following command:

thunderbird -mpe export-items=c:\items.txt

This should create a text file c:\items.txt containing all entries in you calendar. Each event takes one line; please post the line containing your test event here.

Please tell me the program versions you are using. There IS something wrong with you timezone settings. The SDATE of your whole day event is a multiple of 86400, which implies that the event is a whole day event in GMT, but not in your timezone.

Please check your extended thunderbird configuration (about:config) and report your settings of:

calendar.timezone.default
calendar.timezone.local

Gast

calendar.timezone.local /mozilla.org/20070129_1/America/New_York
there is no default

Can you export the Lightning Calendar in ICS-Format? I only need to see the event you posted before in this format, but there is no way to export a single event. You can mail the calendar to me or, if you find your event in the ics-file using a text editor, post only this event here.

Then please export this event again as vcs from MyPhoneExplorer (MPE CAN export single events) and post it here, too.

When you edit your event in lightning, what timezone does it show right beside start and end date? Lightning 0.7 at least shows the timezone of the event.

What I don't understand is why your event does not contain timezone information in its ICS export. Here is an ICS export of a test event I just created:

BEGIN:VEVENT
CREATED:20071031T100327Z
LAST-MODIFIED:20071031T100343Z
DTSTAMP:20071031T100851Z
UID:6187bdae-18c6-4c13-9905-26207fa4cc4d
SUMMARY:TEST
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE;TZID=/mozilla.org/20070129_1/Europe/Berlin:20071031
DTEND;VALUE=DATE;TZID=/mozilla.org/20070129_1/Europe/Berlin:20071101
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
END:VEVENT

It seems to me that your events were created without correct timezone information; this would explain the time difference between lightning and MPE.

Please also try to create a new test event (the one you posted is an old event, as shown by the creation timestamp), and check wether it comes out correctly.

it shows NY time zone
what I'm doing is importing someone else's ical calendar (located here ) , maybe thats why its not showing the time zone. I imported it many times into Outlook then synced my phone with the SE software and it worked beautifully, the prob is that i use thunderbird regularly.
