Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

1. Ubuntu 9.04
2. Evolution 2.26.1
3. accept the meeting invitation and place the event on my default calendar
4. error message

I am working within an exchange environment (pre exchange 2007 I think) and run into troubles with accepting meeting invitations from team members.

A project manager sends a meeting request to myself and other team members; the other team members are using Outlook, some with auto-accept enabled. When I get the the invite there is a line in the body of the preview pane: "Found the appointment in the calendar 'Name's Calendar'". When I click the "Accept" button at the bottom of the body a new message appears below the above message, "Unable to send item to calendar 'Name's Calendar'. Unknown error", and the event is not added to my calendar.

Workaround: Click the drop-down next to "VCS/ICS calendar attachment (meeting.ics)" or right-click on the attachment and choose "Import to Calendar" then choose the calendar to import it to and click "Import".

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of evolution-exchange is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance.

It still existed in 2.28 (Lucid) and also exists in 2.30 as packaged at https://launchpad.net/~jacob/+archive/evo230 - reopening.

And by the way, this pattern all over Launchpad of totally ignoring bugs for ages (8 months in this case) -> asking if it still exists in the new version -> closing it when there is (understandably) no response because the original reporter has long since given up on any progress is totally shit.

I can confirm that this is still an issue with Evolution 2.32.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 x64

Trying to save an appointment to my calendar. The request says

Found the appointment in the calendar 'xxxxxx's calendar'

If you hit Accept or Tentitive you get

Unable to send item to calendar 'xxxxxx's calendar'. Cannot receive calendar objects: Failed with E2K HTTP status 401

The only way I've gotten it to work is by removing the subscribed folder.

Haven't tired Decline.

Also, the Open Calendar does not work.

Exchange 2003

For what it's worth, I can also confirm this in Evolution 2.32.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 x64.

In my case, the request says

Found the appointment in the calendar 'Calendar'

and the error I get is

Cannot receive calendar objects: Failed with E2K HTTP status 8

My workaround is to open the email on my phone and accept it there.

Also using Exchange 2003
