</info>
<title>Using time zones</title>
<p><app>Evolution</app> supports using multiple time zones.</p>
<section id="default-timezone">
<title>Setting your global timezone(s)</title>
<p>By default <app>Evolution</app> uses the system-wide time zone. This can
be changed under <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui>
<gui>Calendar and Tasks</gui><gui>General</gui><gui>Time</gui>
<gui>Time zone</gui></guiseq>.</p>
<p>If you deal a lot with people in another specific time zone you can
display that second time zone in the day view of the calendar. You can set a
second time zone under <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui>
<gui>Calendar and Tasks</gui><gui>General</gui><gui>Time</gui>
<gui>Second zone</gui></guiseq>.</p>
</section>
<section id="appointment-timezone">
<title>Setting a timezone for an appointment</title>
<p>You can also configure time zone information specific to each appointment.
To do that,
<link xref="calendar-usage">add a new or edit an existing appointment</link>
and click the globe button to customize the time zone that the time exists
in. For example, if you live in New York but have a telephone meeting set for
noon with someone in California, you need to make sure that your schedules
are coordinated. Setting time zones on a per-appointment basis helps avoid
that potential confusion.</p>
