All-day events shifted/duplicated after changing time zone

Hello,

I’m having a recurring synchronization issue with MyPhoneExplorer whenever I change my time zone.
I use MPE to sync my Android phone calendar with Outlook, and every time I move to another time zone, many events — especially all-day events (like birthdays or reminders) — are re-synchronized with a date change or sometimes even duplicated.

Here’s what happens:

* All-day events (which should stay as single-day events) are shifted by several hours — for example, an event marked as “all day” becomes “6:00 to 6:00” when there’s a 6-hour time difference.
* Because of that, MPE considers them modified and tries to sync them again.
* Over time, this leads to many incorrect dates and some duplicates (sometimes the same event appears several times).

This creates a lot of extra work: I have to manually review and decide for each proposed change — whether to accept, reject, or delete an event.
It’s especially stressful when MPE suggests deleting events, because I keep over 20 years of calendar history, and I don’t want to risk losing anything.
When dozens of events are affected, this manual verification takes a lot of time.

It seems that MPE interprets all-day events according to the local time zone instead of treating them as floating dates (without time).
I remember that older versions of MPE had an option like “Ignore timezone difference (X hours)”, which could prevent this, but it seems to be gone now.

Would it be possible to:

* Reintroduce an option to ignore timezone shifts during sync, or
* Handle all-day events in a time zone–independent way (like UTC or date-only format)?

This issue is quite frustrating for users who travel frequently or work across time zones.
Otherwise, MPE works perfectly — I’ve been using it for years and it’s a fantastic tool.

Thank you very much for your attention and for maintaining such a useful application.

Thanks

Have you installed the latest MPE version 2.3 and the current client 4.9? With that, I can only partially reproduce your problem. Appointments without reminders sync without any issues for me, but there are problems with reminders that seem difficult or impossible to resolve.
