Steps to reproduce:

hi guys,
this bug report is a copy from the one I filed at launchpad, but so far 
nobody's listening so I decided to take it here.

=================================================

I've been using Tbird plus Lightning for years, very happy with it.
In this setup I have had 2 calendars:
- private. this is bound to my private email address. (private events)
- business. this is bound to my business email address. (business events)
When receiving invitations Lightning would usually ask what calendar the 
appointment needed to go in, sometimes it would not. I think it can decide by 
the mail address, which is logical, but maybe I would get a private invitation 
in my business mail. Anyway, I could select the right calendar.

About a year ago I switched from local calendars to a private Sogo server using 
Caldav protocol. I now have 3 remote calendars:
- private. this is bound to my private email address 'private @ myname.com'
- business. this is bound to my business email address 'business @ company.com'
- sales, this is bound to a 'sales @ company.com' email address and used by 3 
people.
The sales calendar is used to dispatch work items to team members. Anyone can 
see the items in it, only 3 people can change them. By inviting colleagues 
(and/or myself) to an event it pops up in their own calendar and they know when 
to appear at a customer's. This allows me to keep overview of the sales events 
and also keep my own calendars reasonably clean.
So far, so good.


Actual results:

Since a couple of months I've noticed that invitations and changes to existing 
events are not appearing in the correct calendars any more. Whatever I do, they 
all land in the private calendar. I've tried modifying events from within Tbird 
/ Lightning and from the Sogo web-interface (logging in under the 
sales-account).
Invitations and updates are correctly addressed, but still appear in the same, 
usually wrong, calendar.
Again: this goes for both new events as for existing ones that were booked 
correctly before. Change the date or time and the updated event appears in the 
wrong calendar.

The may, of course, be an issue server side, but since that server has
been stable for months and Lightning has had updates recently, I suspect
this is a bug in Lightning.

I'm running Oneiric amd64, updated daily.
If you need more information, please ask.


Expected results:

Invitations sent to a certain email address should be written in the calendar 
that is associated with that mailbox, not to the first (default?) one or a 
random calendar.
Replies should be sent from that same email address.


cheers
Tom

update
I now do have a mailbox for the sales@... account and it is bound to the 
sales-calendar as it should. Makes no difference though: there is no telling to 
what calendars / accounts an incoming invitation will be related.

Imagine this scenario: I make an appointment to see a customer and add it to 
the sales calendar. Then I invite myself and a colleague to the event so we 
have it in our own schedules. Let's assume the invitation actually lands in my 
business calendar, often it does not.
Then my colleague (or me) gets a call from the customer to reschedule the 
meeting. So he changes the date and time, leaving all other aspects as they 
were. He has access to the sales-account too, through the web interface..

The modified event now suddenly shows up in my home calendar although when 
opening I can see it is still aimed at my business email, which is bound to the 
business calendar. I can accept or decline the event, but no way can I select 
the right calendar.
Setting that should be unnecessary anyway because the mail address determines 
the calendar, but every once in a while you get an private invitation sent to 
your business mail. OK, no worries, just open the event and select another 
agenda (like you do when creating a new event). Nope, that option is not there. 
I can only see some details and declare attendance but nothing else.

My wife is using Tbird and Lightning too, on a Win pc. She has no
account on the business Sogo-box and uses a local calendar. Whenever she
sends me invitations for private events, they arrive as mails with an
.ics attachment. Lightning handles these in pretty good order, giving me
the choice in which calendar to place the event (even though it should
make a selection by itself based on the recipient's mail address. I
might always change that later).

Again: this may very well be an issue that has its root cause(s) in Sogo, but 
it did work until recently and we haven't touched the server but there were 
updates to Lightning.
Some colleagues are starting to pester me into buying Exchange. I won't, but 
truth is this does not work well for us at the moment.

cheers
Tom
