Environment

Novell Vibe 3.4
Novell GroupWise

Situation

When one or more Vibe calendars is setup for E-Mail Postings, some appointments mailed from GW Client to the Vibe calendar do not post as appointments. Instead, they are posted as standard discussion entries without a valid start or end date/time.

Resolution

A fix for this issue is available in the Vibe 3.4 Hot Patch 1, available via the Novell Patch Finder.

Cause

The underlying reason was the use of a non-standard timezone ID in the iCal sent from the GW Client (this may also be the case of other e-mail clients) which was being rejected by Vibe.
