Description Brian J. Murrell 2017-01-30 15:53:55 UTC 
Whenever I try to add particular meetings to my EWS calendar I get an error:

Cannot receive calendar objects: Cannot find user 'brian@example.com' between attendees

These are meeting requests for large groups of people and look like:

Thanks for a bug report. This doesn't look like a meeting, there is no organizer, neither attendee, it's just a regular event/appointment. Did you receive it by mail? I suppose you did and it showed like a meeting invitation, with Accept/Decline/... options, am I right?
Comment 2 Brian J. Murrell 2017-02-02 11:56:11 UTC 
It was a downloaded ICS file (i.e. clicking a link in a browser) which was then "imported" into Evolution.

Sorry for not saying as much up front.  That is an important detail.
