Hello, I'm an Evolution newbie running v2.2.1.1 installed from the FreeBSD ports collection, interoperating with an office full of Outlook users with an Exchange Server as well as a few other Evolution users.
All seems to be working nicely with the exception that Evolution doesn't seem to understand vCalendar files generated by MS Outlook/Exchange. The error when receiving an email with an ICS file attached is "The Item in the calendar is not valid. The message does contain a calendar, but the calendar contains no events, tasks or free/busy information". Mozilla Thunderbird successfully parses the vCalendar file and displays a link to the Exchange web interface if I retrieve the same email with IMAP. Also users using Evolution 2.0.4 installed as a Fedora package seem to be able to parse the vCalendar files OK so I'm wondering if there is something else I need to install/configure on my particular client that I've missed. All other Exchange functionality is working fine. Could anyone point me in the right direction in troubleshooting this? I've had a look through the online Users Manual, the Evolution help files and quick look at Bugzilla and haven't managed to find anything. I've attached an example vCalendar file from an Outlook user accepting a request for a meeting that I made using Evolution that spits out the above error. Thanks for your help. Mark
