When an meeting invitation is sent from one time zone to another (New York to
London) the recepient in London accepts the invitation in their local time zone rather than the time orginally set. Therefore, an invitation to a New York meeting next week at 10:00 am shows up to the invited guest as a 3:00 pm meeting. Outlook users do not adjust their computers to a new time zone because all their meetings are rescheduled to funny and irrelant times. When a meeting is scheduled for a specific time (e.g. 10 am), it is always going to be 10:00 am whether it is in Seattle, London, Tokyo or Sydney...not 10:00 in New York and 4:00 pm whereever else. 95% of people using Outlook are scheduling meetings for their own calendars, not for other people in other time zones. I could see the application for a conference call in New York at 10:00 showing up as a 3pm call in London...but that is rarely used. Please fix this. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

But we NEED to change computer time zone for gzillion reasons, synchronising
it with our PDA's for example. If our PDA is not telling us time of the current place, what good does it make to have it?!?!?

The way Outlook/Pocket PC works for time zones is the correct way. What you
are asking for is for Outlook to lie. When your computer is in Eastern Time Zone for example and you create a meeting that starts at 4:00 PM, that is when the meeting starts -- at 4PM Eastern or 8PM UTC. So now lets say you change the time zone to Pacific Time, that meeting is going to correctly say 1:00 PM Pacific because *that is the time you said the meeting was starting*. People just do not understand time zones and this is the reason why I hate them. Time is constant, people. Time does not change just because you are in a different longitude. Fortunately, in Outlook 2007, Outlook makes it easier for you to specify the global time of an appointment by providing you with a time zone selection and doing the calculation for you. One area that I think is bad is all-day events when changing time zones. Outlook should "snap" it to 12a-12a since by design things like holidays and birthdays aren't bound by times, but dates. -- Josh Einstein / Tablet PC MVP Einstein Technologies, LLC ----------------------------------------------------- Tablet Enhancements for Outlook 3.0 Now Available Unleash the potential of Outlook on your Tablet PC, Origami, or UMPC.

Try working like this if you are living in/traveling to/ working with Israel.
I am sure there are other countries too that have problems like these. Time Zones in Windows just don't work properly!!! And, feature that you are mentioning in 2007 doesn't exist in 2003.
