Default all day events for different time zones

It is ridiculous that you are taking MS side on this. Yes, an all
day event is from 12:00 to 12:00 in one time zone, and 11:00 to 11:00
in another. But, you are completely missing the point.


I don't believe I am, and I'm only "taking MS' side on it" because, as a
scientist, I believe it's correct. You, in fact, acknowledge its
correctness yourself.

In our case, we are not focused on TIME. We are focused on DAY.


Since when does a day not begin at midnight and end at midnight IN YOUR OWN
TIMEZONE?

Another example is vacation. If the guy on the east coast puts a
vacation in as an all day event, when I read it from the central time
zone I see two days of vacation.


No, you see a 24 hour event that happens to span portions of two days

Yes, Outlook is working correctly by fixing time zone issues for me.
But, I don't want it to. It is wreaking havoc on us and our people
who are interpreting the schedules.


So you do want it to lie to you.

I've been reading all day how to solve this problem and there is not
one solution I can find.


That's because Outlook is not broken.
