Recurring Outlook appointments are super hard. I don't expect the =20
'old' Skyrix zidestore will get fixed for recurrences.

There is a new GroupDAV collector in the works which will convert =20
Outlook recurrences to iCal ones. This will improve the situation a lot.

In the current ZideLook/ZideStore setup processing of recurrences is =20
done in the Skyrix ZideStore. It has nothing to do with GroupDAV or =20
iCal (it uses MAPI encoded as WebDAV properties).

Obviously SOGo Connector for *Mozilla* has nothing to do with =20
*Outlook* :-)

But using SOGo Connector + Mozilla Thunderbird + OGo might improve =20
your recurrence support.

As mentioned above the current plan is to move the Outlook recurrence =20=

handling to the plugin and let ZideStore deal with just iCalendar.

It would be helpful to know the various recurrence patterns you =20
actually use.
What Outlook version do you use?
