This is the code to reproduce the issue:

import java.util.Date;

import static org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils.addDays;

			endDate, "", new MapiRecipientCollection());

		// Set timeZone
		MapiCalendarTimeZone timeZone = new MapiCalendarTimeZone("EST");
		meeting.setStartDateTimeZone(timeZone);
		meeting.setEndDateTimeZone(timeZone);

		// Create the recurrence
		MapiCalendarEventRecurrence recurrence = new MapiCalendarEventRecurrence();
		recurrence.setRecurrencePattern(new MapiCalendarDailyRecurrencePattern());
		MapiCalendarRecurrencePattern pattern = recurrence.getRecurrencePattern();

		pattern.setWeekStartDay(DayOfWeek.Sunday);
		pattern.setOccurrenceCount(5);
		pattern.setEndType(MapiCalendarRecurrenceEndType.EndAfterNOccurrences);
		meeting.setRecurrence(recurrence);

		// Modify the occurrence
		MapiCalendarExceptionInfo exceptionInfo = new MapiCalendarExceptionInfo();
		Date exceptionStartDate = addDays(startDate, 1);
		Date exceptionEndDate = addHours(exceptionStartDate, 1);
		exceptionInfo.setBody("Modified description");

		exceptionInfo.setEndDateTime(exceptionEndDate);
		pattern.getModifiedInstanceDates().addItem(exceptionStartDate);

Is this issue already resolved? I didn’t find any information about it in the release notes.

dmitry.samodurov · December 9, 2022, 11:38am

Hello, @SergeiNikitin

I will check it and let you know the details. Thanks.

Hi,
This is is long time not resolved, we’re paying customers and this issue makes your library not useful.
Please fix this ASAP !!!

tahir.manzoor · December 12, 2022, 4:43pm

@slavago

tahir.manzoor · December 14, 2022, 2:25pm

@slavago

Hopefully, the fix of this issue will be available in the next version of Aspose.Email for Java i.e. 22.12. Please note that this ETA is not final at the moment. We will be sure to inform you once there is an update available on it.

slavago · December 14, 2022, 2:27pm

Thanks, will wait

tahir.manzoor · December 19, 2022, 4:00pm

@slavago, @SergeiNikitin

We have prepared hotfix release to test this issue on the your side. Please use this release and let us know how it goes on your side.

Also, you need to use “Eastern Standard Time” time zone ID instead of “EST”. The Outlook does not recognize “EST” time zone properly.

MapiCalendarTimeZone timeZone = new MapiCalendarTimeZone("Eastern Standard Time");

slavago · December 23, 2022, 8:38am

Hi, Thanks.
Seems that this hotfix is working, is this the stable version or should we expect usual build on your usual release cycle ?

tahir.manzoor · December 23, 2022, 4:59pm

@slavago

Thanks for your feedback. You can use this hotfix at your end for your issue. However, we suggest you please wait for next release of Aspose.Email i.e. 22.12 and use it. It will contain fix of many issues and features also.
