[Macpartners] All Day Events in iCal

[Jennifer A Morris]

I followed your advice and setup Outlook 2011 and everything looks fine there.

A colleague of mine mentioned that this bug does get fixed though in Exchange 2010. Our department's accounts are still on Exchange 2007, but are being moved over next week. I'll see for sure by then and if I still see the problem I'll let you know.

I'm running 10.6.8 and the iPhone and iPad are running iOS 5.01
