Outlook + Lotus Notes Connector

[Guest]

My company utilizes Lotus Domino for our e-mail platform, and I have recently
began using the Outlook Lotus Connector software. Everything appears to be
working great except for one small issue with Calendaring. When I send a
meeting request out, everyone receives it properly and it indicates the
correct time for them. The issue is that it also seems to indicate to them
that I am on GMT (business is located in EST). For example, the Lotus client
will indicate on the meeting request that "This meeting occurs in a different
time zone-it shows the correct tiem for the recipient but indicates the
meeting will actually occur GMT. I have checked both my system and Outlook
time zone settings, and both are set to EST. Any ideas?

Bryan...I'm having the same issue. Did you ever get a response on this?

Lotus Notes deals with GMT due to it not knowing what geographical area each
recipient might be in. Rather than risk missing the correct time, it uses,
as a default, GMT or Greenwich Mean Time. Greenwich Mean Time is
international time, the basis of the world time clock. Every time zone has
an equivalent GMT time zone reference. In your case, EST is GMT -5.00.

This explains why you are seeing the GMT reference. You'd need to search
for a Lotus Notes way to suppress the GMT time reference and I don't have
the info readily available but hopefully that gives you something to start
with.

There is one in the thread now, but it is one that really doesnt help...I
think. Perhaps if you set the time in Outlook to GMT?
