Time zone is not converted to the local time zone. For instance: an event is scheduled for 8pm EST on the web calendar (zimbra) and I sync sunbird. Sunbird then reports the event is scheduled for 8pm in the current time zone, making it off by an hour. Perhaps an issue with sunbird being aware of the time zone on the machine it is installed or the time zone that an event is set at.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.make a new event in web calendar (zimbra) for a time zone other than current
2.sync sunbird
3.time is not adjusted for time zone

Actual Results:  
time zone is off

Expected Results:  
time in calendar adjusted for the current machine time zone

I am using Zimbra as my web calendar.
