Calendar event showing up the wrong timezone

Hi there, I refer to the screenshots below. The user, Pamela, sends out a calendar invite to both Jeff and Kok Guan, specifying the correct timezone UTC +0800. However, what Jeff views this event on his Mac running on Yosemite 10.10.2 is the UTC +0000 timezone, Monrovia, Reykjavik. The time indicated is displayed 6am instead of the actual 2pm, despite showing a notification that the event will commence at 2pm on Jeff's Mac. How do i go about correcting/removing the UTC +0000, Monrovia, Reykjavik, timezone stamp. Appreciate some help with this. Thanks!

Regards

Kenny

Unfortunately, the server update won't fix existing meetings automatically.  However, users MAY be able to fix it themselves if they find the original meeting invitation (could be in Deleted Items) and re-accept the meeting(s) with the "UTC" time zones.  (Let us know if that works.)

If that doesn't work, they will have to ask the organizer to re-send the invitation.  (Organizer just has to open the meeting on his/her calendar and click "Send Update." Make sure to "Edit Series" if it is a recurring meeting.)

    We made a special-case code change to compensate for Lotus Notes sending us events with time zone set to "UTC." The fix for this will be in the next update.  After the next update, please let us know if you are still seeing problems.

    John I have the same issue when receiving invites and it seems at least some are created on Lotus Notes, which is unfortunately the system of choice for many of my clients! You will see below that the MacMail applies the meeting correctly and outlook (only desktop does not) It ends up in monrovia....

    Now, I understand.  Yes, I'll have to work with my exchange server hosting (Network Solutions).  Thank you for your assistance and clarification.
