Send meeting invitation from Evolution to Outlook 2. Send meeting invitation from Outlook to Evolution Actual Results: Meeting invitation from Evolution is received as plain text, looks like vCal format. Meeting invitation from Outlook is received as regular mail in Evolution. Expected Results: Meeting invitation is received as a meeting invitation. How often does this happen? Always. Additional Information: Outlook version: 2000
I see this when sending meeting requests TO outlook FROM evolution. I don't see it the other way around. /Erik
is this still an issue in 2.0?
I just tested both ways again with Evo 2.0.2, and the results are the same.
We test this a fair amount and its been working for a long time. Could you include sample messages in this bug?
We recently upgraded to Exchange 2003 (from Exchange 5.5), which made the problem go away. So, I am no longer able to send messages to/from Exchange 5.5. If nothing else, this is a strong indication that the problem was between Evolution and Exchange 5.5, and that the Outlook version was irrelevant.
hmm... okay, closing as incomplete. anyway, thanks a lot for taking the time to report this and to investigate further.
