    Hi,

    I am working on a back-up tool project for Office 365.

    Recently, I got a problem with ics import on Office 365 Calendar.

    I imported an ics file which describes an event during Wed 5/23/2018 7:00a - 8:00a @CST, but the Office 365 Calendar UI showed incorrect event time. (UI showed the event time is "Wed 5/23/2018 6:00a - 7:00a @CST".)

    I have asked on Microsoft Community, and the technical support suggested me to post it on here.

    I also have checked the difference between the ics file support provided and mine.

    However, the only difference is that there are some Standard/Daylight Time rules to describe the time zone change during 1986~1991 in my .ics file, but those rules should NOT effect the events which are in 2018.

    Therefore, I think there should be some bugs in ics file parser.

    Hope the MSFT RD can check this issue.

    Thanks,

    Joe Wu

    P.S. Here is the ics file I imported.

    Hello Joe Wu,

     What do you mean Office 365 Calendar UI? How did you import the ICS? Would you mind share us how we could  reproduce your issue?

    Best Regards,

    Terry

    Hi Terry,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I tried to post some images to describe my test steps, but the website said I have to wait the account verification first. :(

    I log in to the www.office.com , switch to Outlook app,  and click "Calendar".

    And then I click "Add calendar" -> "Add file" to import the ICS.

    You can get the further information by the following link.

    If you need any further information, please let me know.

    Thanks.

    Joe Wu

    Hello Joe Wu(joewu),

    It seems that you issue is more related to Outlook Web App and this forum is for discussing development issue related to Outlook Client. I tired to import the ics file in Outlook Client and it works well.

    I would suggest you click the question mark on the top and right corner on the Outlook Web App to call the Help task pane and make a feedback for your issue.

    For the current thread, I will move it to Off-Topic forum. 

    Thanks for understanding,

    Best Regards,

    Terry

    Hi Terry,

    Thanks for your help.

    However I didn't find the Help task pane of the Outlook Web App.

    Could you give me the website of it?

    Thanks.
