Accepting Calendar Invites for Office 365 does not sync

Open levinium opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

Your environment

TbSync version: 1.7 Thunderbird version: 60.7.0

[ ] Yes, I have installed the latest available (beta) version from https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/releases and my issue is not yet fixed, I can still reproduce it.

Expected behavior

Accepting a calendar invite in my Outlook365 calendar should sync the acceptance to Outlook365.

Actual behavior

It is not syncing. It accepts it in Thunderbird, but on the Outlook365 calendar the event remains awaiting to be accepted. There are no sync errors / issues that pop up regarding this, as far as TbSync sees the sync is happening properly.

Steps to reproduce

Accept a calendar invite.

To help resolving your issue, enable debug logging (TbSync Account Manager -> Help) and send me the debug.log via e-mail (use the title of your issue as subject of the email).

Hello John, thank you for the great product!

Is there any progress on the issue??

You may begin getting a lot of inquiries about this soon. A large employer has shifted it's users to Exchange and there is a fairly large contingent of Thunderbird users. We're trying this add-on to save us from Outlook and it seems that it has some (known) issues handling event invitations (sending and receiving).

Any chance we could wake the calendar dragon?

The only thing I can say is, that I am open for pull requests. But I really have no time for this on my own clock.

Also note: TbSync is using EAS which has no support (from the protocol) for globally shared calendars. The protocol just has no way of accessing those. If you want professional support, try the OWL add-on, which is using EWS and OWA as protocols, which is what you probably need. It is being developed by a German company.

@jobisoft would a crowdfund raiser help? Or is it really time, rather than funding, that is missing?
