Yep - this has nothing to do with exchange itself.

When someone sends you an exchange invitation, it is an ICS attachment inside KMail. KMail should be able to handle these ICS attachments.

It has nothing at all to do with "Exchange support". Sure, we have an exchange server here, but I connect to it via IMAP.

"Exchange support" would mean when I accept that invitation that it would be added on the exchange server's calender. That would be super, but for now I would be happy if the appointment was even added o my LOCAL calender correctly. 

As per my above comment - this does work IF you set the timezone dropdown in KOrganizer (settings->Configure KOrganizer->Time & Date). 

My comment still stands - WHY DOES THIS DROPDOWN EVEN EXIST - it is confusing, to a user. I don't understand at all the technical reason why KOrganizer can not use the same timezone as the rest of the OS. Why would it ever need it's own special timezone? 

What makes it even worse is it does not seem to even default to the OS's timezone - this is why all my appointments were wrong until I changed it.
