1.13 Time zones
135
The method of time zone indication depends on location of the selected time zone (to the east
or west from the Greenwich meridian). If the zone is located east of the greenwich meridian,
the time displacement is indicated by the + sign. The zones located west of the meridian are
indicated by -.
The time zone issue gets event more complicated, when it is necessary to consider the winter
time and the daylight saving time. Thus, the real shift of the local time from the GMT may
vary in the course of the year. Kerio WebMail considers the winter time and the daylight saving
time for the selected time zone automatically.
Kerio WebMail shows the time zones in the following manner:
GMT +12
(Fiji)
GMT -6
(Easter Island)
The counterpart of the zero meridian is so-called date line which makes a division between
the GMT -12 a GMT +12 time zones. The date line is not a meridian, because it does not form
any connection between the North and South Pole. It just separates two time zones so that
one state does not belong to two different time zones at a moment. When you cross the line
from the east to the west, a day is added. When you cross from west to the east, a day is
subtracted.
1.13.1 Change of a time zone
The time zone is set by the Kerio MailServer machine time by default. It can be changed in
Kerio WebMail in the user settings on the General tab (see chapter
Warning: When the time zone is changed, the time of entering the events and meetings into
the calendar is affected.
1.13.2 Events in different time zones
For the delivered messages as well as event settings, Kerio WebMail shows the time of the
time zone currently selected. The following text illustrates setting of events for different time
zones and the time shown:
The events in Kerio MailServer are stored together with the information about the time zone
in which they were created as well as the daylight savings time (if specified). To display the
event in a different time zone, Kerio WebMail converts it automatically (including the daylight
savings time, if specified for the given time zone).
If you log in to Kerio WebMail from a different time zone or if another user displays your
Free/Busy calendar, the time will be converted automatically (including the daylight savings
time, if specified in.Kerio WebMail).
The following examples illustrate the principle of time zones:
