Outlook turns holidays and birthday's into 2-day events?

I couldn't agree more. Outlook seems to have a flawed concept of as "all day
event". An "all day event" (such as a birthday) should stay as an all day
event on the stated day irrespective of timezone. An "all day event" is not
the same thing as a 24 hour event starting at midnight and ending at
midnight, although it is treated that way.

I travel a lot (and thus change timezones a lot) and this is a continual
source of frustration. The only solution I have come up with is to leave my
PC on my home timezone and convert trimes in my head when I travel.

Use Outlook's ability to show two timezones instead. Tools>Options>Calendar
Options>Time Zone>Show an additional time zone.
