Hi,

according to the Kolab format specification, all datetime fields  
should be stored as UTC:

--------------------
Datetime YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ. The T is the literal char, and always  
needs to be between the
date and the time. The Z is also the literal char, and shows that the  
datetime is UTC. The format does
not allow for other time settings than UTC. An example could be  
2004-05-04T15:00:00Z.
--------------------

Right now kronolith stores localtime. This results in interoperability  
problems with other Kolab clients :)
kronolith of H4 works correctly.

Cheers,
Thomas
