[CalendarServer-users] iCal vs. Thunderbird event scheduling & notifications

[Brandon Evans]

I am trying to get iCal and Thunderbid/lightning working together in  
my office.   The problem I am having is events created in Thunderbird  
are not being automatically sent to other users/attendee calendars.

Watching Calendar Server while creating an event within iCal, I can  
see the event get created, then get sent out to any attendees I have  
added.

When doing the same in Thunderbird, the event is never copied to the  
other attendees calendars.

=== Snip ===


I have tried this using the 1.2 Calendar server branch, as well as the  
latest trunk (as of 7/28/08)
I am using Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 with lightning 0.8
I have also tried the latest Sunbird (including nightly build)


Any ideas on what may be wrong?  Is this due to the attribute  
collation error printed above & mentioned here http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=calendarserver-dev&a=2008-04&t=6921251 
  ?

I am using custom LDAP directory service modules (http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/260 
).  Could the problem be something wrong with the LDAP directory  
modules?  If so, any hints on what might be missing would be great.
