I have worked out that if I correct the birthday dates and anniversary dates either on Outlook.com, Outlook 2010(with outlook connector) or Live mail the following happens.
When synced to my HTC Titan the anniversary dates remain correct, but all of the birthday dates in the "birthday field" on the phone that fall during British summer time (GMT+1)between the 25th of march and 28th of October move forward 1 day? However the birthday dates that are added to the "birthday calendar" remain correct? .
This problem does not affect dates in the Anniversay field only the birthdays!
If I correct the birthday field on my titan for any of the dates that have moved forward one day then when I check back to Outlook.com, Outlook 2010 or Live mail the birthday has moved back one day from the original date!
I do not believe it is a fault with the Titan software, it appears to be with the server setting for birthdays that fall between the daylight saving times in the server.
If I add a test contact to outlook.com with a birthday and anniversary of 24th March 2001 then both dates sync to titan with correct dates, but if I change both dates in outlook.com to the 25/03/2001 then the birthday field on the phone changes to 26/03/2001 but the anniversary field stays at the 24/03/2001. This remains true for every date up till 28/10/2001 when both times become the same again with no offset.
I have checked every time zone and location setting in Outlook.com, PC and my titan and they are all United Kingdom, GMT London etc.
EDIT, Things get worse!
I have just installed Office 365 on my laptop and if i add a birth dat of 09/07/1970 to one of my contacts using the drop down calendar as soon as I save the change Outlook 2013 updates the date to 08/0701970? Outlook 2013 actually takes a day off the correct date which is then reflected in Outlook.com, Live mail etc.
This has got to be a problem with the database on the server!

Same problem here. I`m running Samsung Omnia 7 (WP 7.8) and some of my dates are off by +/- 1 day, some by 1 month.. imagine the surprise to find that birthdays have moved.
Yes, time zone is correct.
When will this be solved and how? I`ll better not have to go through all 300 contacts to change dates.
Please let us know when a fix will be available.
To be honest I've given up waiting.
Google have now dropped their Calender Sync with Outlook.
When this happened I was really hoping that MS would get their finger out and get Outlook.com sorted.
That way I could just sync Outlook with Outlook.com and everything would be fine.
Well it still does not work. Dates still change by +/-1 day.
So, sadly MS didn't get their finger out.
All our contacts & calender have now been moved across to Google's GMail & Calender.
And guess what... everything works in Google.
Everything syncs as it should with our android phones.
Sorry MS but if you can't keep up with the competition your really are going to lose long term users.
Still no fix on January 9, 2013 for this!!! ...and guess what, problem occurs on all phones except those running Windows Phone 8...
I have to bring correction on my last sentence...
WP7 -> No problem
WP8 -> 1 day shift
WP8 set in french -> 1 day shift plus inversion of day and month!?!
Come on Microsoft get your fingers out and sort this out.
This thread has been going for months and is still not resolved.
Google are dropping Calender Sync, and this issue is still not resolved.
What have I had to do... go to the dark side that's what.
I've had to switch to using Gmail as my main Calender as you are useless at getting this major Hotmail Calender bug fixed.
Can you please give us all an indication of when it'll be sorted.
When you do I'll switch back to Hotmail.
I have also asked the question:
My all day events are off by one day when syncing to my phone from mid march onward during the day light saving time period. I also receive the same response that the issue is known but still no resolution. The dates are correct on the online calendar.
Can anyone from microsoft please let us know when the issue will be resolved.
Thanks
