Hi!

I recently added my caldav calendar to thunderbird and noticed that the event times are off by an hour. Going into Settings -> Calendar, there's a drop down for timezone, the selected one is UTC+1 whereas I'm on UTC+0 and I can't seem to set it to plain GMT/UTC (I can select that timezone on single events though), and there does not seem to be a single country or region in that timezone list that's on UTC+0 with no DST.

Is there some way to set the calendar time zone to UTC+0?

Chosen solution

Found a solution, go to

Settings -> General -> Config Editor (at the bottom)

Search for calendar.timezone.local, change that to UTC and restart thunderbird.

I would however still like to see this added to the dropdown menu, or better yet, a complete list of timezones.
