Thanks Ronni. I gave that a test. Sending the Mail Event went okay. When it came to accepting the incoming .ics file (I sent it to myself using a different mail address), iCal threw up:
The server responded with an error. Access to “New Event” in “<Name of Calendar>” in account “u...@me.com” is not permitted. The server responded: “HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden” to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation. The options to select from are "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server" (the latter being the default). If "Go Offline" is selected, the entry is inserted into iCal. If "Revert to Server" is selected, the entry is not placed in iCal. I guess the recipient wouldn't ordinarily be me, so not something I'd need to worry about. Anyway, could be a 2nd best option in the interim as you say Ronni, the downside being no auto notifications and audit trail of who's declined/accepted etc. Cheers, Steven On 26/03/2011, at 11:11 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: > > > On 25/03/2011, at 2:03 PM, Steven Knowles wrote: > >> >> MobileMe asked me recently to "upgrade" to the new calendar version, which I >> reluctantly did.
