In the data file drop down menu, select Mailbox - Your Name.

The utility will attempt to detect your mailbox time zone. If this is incorrect, select the correct Original Time zone from the list.

Once you have selected your original time zone, select the option for Update to reflect changes to Windows time Zones unless you know that you have recently moved to another area. In this case, select move appointments created in the Original Time Zone to my new time zone and select the new time zone.

Finally, select whether to update your scheduled meetings and send updates to any invited users.
