Description sean finney 2011-04-27 07:01:04 UTC 
This was forwarded to me by one of our test users.

If you receive a calendar invitation, ema seems to automatically create the corresponding calendar event, possibly inheriting any default reminders/warnings/etc.  If you choose to "decline" the calendar event, the NACK does not remove the calendar item from your calendar.

It's possible that this is related to Bug #648732, I've asked the user if they could try selecting the "send a response" option to see if the organizer is informed (incorrectly, like in the linked bug) or not.
Comment 1 sean finney 2011-04-27 07:09:53 UTC 
Okay, I've gotten a confirmation that there is a NACK sent and that it does not have the correct association, so it could very likely be the same or related problem as  Bug #648732 (I'm hesitant to mark it as a DUPLICATE until we know for sure though).

The server adds events received by email on its own for sure (I'm sure for 98%). Older evolution-mapi, like 0.28 or so, used to search for server objects and add them to user's calendar, but it was done only when reading the message, and yours version (3.0.x) does not have such code any more.

Could you try to send yourself a meeting invitation and check in OWA whether the event was added to the calendar or not, before evolution-mapi touches it, please? It may confirm whether the event was added by the server or the client.

I just tried this, while testing bug #648732, and I see the event added on the server with OWA interface, thus I believe this is a server-side behaviour. I didn't find an option in outlook preferences, neither in OWA.

I'm not closing this bug yet, please confirm it first.

Check MS-OXOCFG for PiAutoProcess, that might be related.

Looks like with Bug 648732 fixed, one can now decline an invitation.
