I am using thunderbird in New zealand home and timezone settings, and when I invite NZ people to a new event it automatically creates a calendar entry for UTC

I bought my laptop in the UK and installed Thunderbird there initially, but then moved to NZ and reset the home location and time zone accordingly. However, when I send invites to an event it resets the calendar invite for the recipient to UTC/GMT. My calendar entry and invite record still shows what I was entering, but their end does not. And its the same in reverse, they send me something for 3pm, I receive it as 3am.

... reset the home location and time zone accordingly.

Where exactly did you do this?

was in the options, in two places but cannot recall both now, one set Pacific/Auckland, the other UTC +12 as I recall.

Seems to have resolved, but I had to reschedule all my existing events to NZ time manually.

Cheers
