The latest version from Pear as of last night. Sorry, not at home now,
so I can't check the exact numbers.

same timezone as your Horde account?

Timezone support is set on the iPhone to Ottawa which is the correct
city. Horde has it set to the same thing.
I am using an older iPhone 3G.

proper ActiveSync timezone support).

It was not.
That seems to have fixed it.

> FWIW, things work as they are supposed to for me - also in the same
TZ.

Many thanks Mike!
