Austin, what you write is not quite correct. I'll give you steps to reproduce, then a simplified description of what happens on the technical side
STR: * Install Mozilla Lightning 0.8pre [1] into Thunderbird 2 * Install the Provider for Google Calendar nightly [2] into Thunderbird * Add your Google Calendar via the new calendar wizard using any XML url * Use outlook (2007), or a WCAP server (maybe others) and send a meeting invitation to a NON-GOOGLE account, that you can see inside thunderbird. - To quicken the process, schedule the event on the next day, 5 minutes. You should recieve the reminder in 5 minutes. - Suprisingly, this does not seem to happen with outlook 2003, but I could not confirm this. * In Thunderbird in the message preview, accept the event and select your google calendar as the target calendar * Wait 5 minutes * You will receive an email with the subject similar to "[Reminder] test event tomorrow @ Thu Jan 10 18:05 - 19:05 ()" This reminder is the problem. I did not specify any email alarms, nor do I have a default email alarm set. The reminder is always sent 24 hours before the event. Now to the technical side, how I accept this event and such: * In the step "...accept the event and select your google calendar...", I am doing a standard POST (add Item) call, with all properties from the meeting invitation translated. An example XML can be seen in my previous posts. * The response doesn't show any variation to the original item. * sendEventNotifications is specifically set to false. I don't seem to be getting any meeting invitations/updates, but the reminder should not happen! The consequence of this reminder email, is that anyone who gets a meeting invitation from an external source to a non-google email, and accepts the meeting to their google calendar, will end up sending all attendees of this meeting a reminder email. This is clearly annoying and makes the product unusable for business needs.
