BIOS time on my PC was set at UTC (+/-0), however setting it to local
time changed nothing. I entered an appointment at 20:00 on my phone,
initiated sync to Exchange and opened Evolution. Still two hours drift,
shows in Evolution at 18:00. Displays correctly in OWA. I have not found
a way to check BIOS time on my phone
Please help anybody. This is really a showstopper for me using Evolution
