6.10 Configuring Time Zones

Evolution supports the use of time zones. If you share calendar files with friends or co-workers, you might need to configure your time zone.

  1. Click Edit > Preferences, then click Calendar and Tasks.

  2. Click the icon next to the Time Zone field, then select your location.

    Each red dot represents a major city.

  3. Select a city, then click OK.

You can also configure time zone information specific to each appointment. To do that, simply create a new appointment and click the globe to customize the time zone that the time exists in. For example, if you live in New York but have a telephone meeting set for noon with someone in California, you need to make sure that your schedules are coordinated. Setting time zones on a per-appointment basis helps avoid that potential confusion.
