I want to confirm the "bug" that R. Kainhofer reported. 
I have KDE 3.5.7 on a SUSE 10.2. I, too, use KMAIL connected to a SLES 9 Server with OX5 (latest SP3 installed). Connection is done via WebDav. 
When I open the calendar the (red) time line for the present time has the correct value. 
However, as soon as  I save some new calendar appointments the present time line changes by 2 hours and remains there. 
In addition to what R. Kainhofer  I see this behaviour also whenever I change an already existing appointment and submit the changes to the OX5.
In my opinion there is no real bug in the SLES oder KDE components.  I think there is a bug in the webdav answer from the OX5. See for comparison the discussion in the Mozilla forum for Sunbird. The Mozilla people there have analyzed a comparable problem and found that the OX5 does not send a correct time value back to the client. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339960 

I checked the time settings for the server and the client system and the time settings for the OX5 components. Everything there is consistent.  
I in addition checked for changes when setting the clock time of the server to UTC or Local Time -> no changes of the described behaviour.   
Could somebody of the KDE developers have a word with the OX5 people ?
