We have been using Lightning and CalDAV for some years, mostly trouble-free. When we moved to a new host, we decided to stop using Baikal as the CalDAV server and take advantage of the built-in CalDAV server in cPanel.
We have run into two problems related to events/invitations, and I don't know how to fix them:
1. When a person gets an invitation and accepts it, an email is generated and sent to every other participant. If they so much as change the reminder time, or get the reminder and choose to snooze for some period...yep, a whole nother round of emails is sent out.
This was not happening with the Baikal server. I have gone into Horde, and done Preferences|Calendar|Notifications, and set "Choose if you want to be notified of new, edited, and deleted events by email:" to NO. I checked the box for "Don't send me a notification if I've added, changed or deleted the event?"
I remember in older versions of Thunderbird/Lightning, you were asked whether you wanted to send out notifications to the other participants, but there's no longer an option there for that, I guess it's expected to be set on the server now. People are quickly getting annoyed at the flood of emails surrounding rescheduling of a simple meeting.
2. The second thing is that these notifications show YOU as the organizer (whoever YOU is)--so that every copy of T-bird shows that person as the event organizer. That's bad enough for an in-house event but looks weird when we're responding to a client event that they set up.
We are on Thunderbird 45.8.0 (current release)--mostly on Win 7 though some people may have Win 10.
Horde Groupware 5.2.14
uname -a
Linux 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 3 00:04:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Any ideas how to fix either of these? I think we're going to be in trouble if I can't fix these issues quickly.
