What I might not have made clear: User A is not receiving the invitation on his gmail account!
* He receives the invitation email on another account (i.e his work account) * In Mozilla Lightning accepts the invitation. * He gets a dialog, to which calendar the event should be added and choses his Google Calendar * Via the API, an event is being created (basically the same way any other event is being created) - All attendees from the inivitation are added have the status "invited" (since in the invitation they are noted as NEEDS-ACTION) - sendEventNotifications is explicitly set to false * All attendees are added to the Google Event. Each one recieves an invitation from Google for the event added to the Google Calendar. I hope this explains the situation well.
