  <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 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>
