[Bug 849581] Re: [regression] no option to send reply for accepted calendar invites

 

After more testing, I seem to be able to create positive and negative
test cases from my wife's Google calendar.  Last night, when I took the
screenshot in comment #2 I got the reply scenario.  Updating the time
and resending this invite it still works, but I am having trouble
reproducing this even though it was a trivial create from Google.

I created what I thought was an identical request from the same account
today and it did not show me a reply box, like all the other invites I
have from Outlook clients.  So now I think there is some sort of bug
here.   Attached are the .mbox of the working and non-working scenarios
(I obfuscated emails using find/replace).

In each case the behavior for an invite does not appear to change - i.e.
if it didn't have the Reply option when it arrives, it never gets it on
subsequent reloads of evolution.

Title:
  [regression] no option to send reply for accepted calendar invites

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Email calendar invites do not present an option to reply to the sender
  upon acceptance (or other selection) and evolution sends nothing back
  to the sender.

  In Natty (2.32) and earlier the email responses with subject
  "Accepted: xxx" could be seen in the sent box.   Perhaps the
  correlation between the outbound email account (imapx) and the inbound
  google calendar account is not being made?  In this case the email is
  not gmail (Verio qmail IMAP+) and a matching Google Calendar account
  (username matching email).


  Senders are unaware of acceptance as a result, defeating the purpose
  of the calendar invite.
