Ical Server Email Invitations Setup

Is there a guide to setup the Email Invitations? I have changed the settings over and over again in an attempt to make it work. I have tried pointing to the local mail server (same box) as well as our outside host with no luck. I have searched through many log files and am not seeing anything that will help me diagnose the issue. Any advise or guides out there? Thanks as usual for all of you help.

Apparently the answer is Google Calendar.

    iCal Server email invitations - how to test and get this feature working
    Thanks Apple for introducing this nice little feature into iCal but then completely neglecting to write any sort of useful manual that can explain what to do when it doesn't work after you set it up for the first time.
    At long, long last we have finally got there after about 6 months of fiddling on and off, so I thought I had better post up the process since many have similar issues and it is hard to ascertain what is going on.
    Using an external email server was just a waste of time and it still wouldn't handle the replies properly even though it was supposed to handle '+addressing'. In the end I set up a special gmail account for the iCal server and finally got it working. I list here the process of configuring and testing the system to check that each little stage is working.
    Set up a Gmail account in Apple Mail to access and test in the usual way for any email account (e.g. [email protected].);
    Set the iCal server email to access the same email using the following settings:
    IMAP
    SMTP
    [email protected]
    smtp.gmail.com
    Port: 993 [x] Use SSL
    Port: 587 [x] Use SSL
    User & Pwd
    Login
    User & Pwd
    To test the settings:
    send out a test email from Apple Mail to a non-server email address that you can access to check it has been received;
    send out a test email from your non-server email account to [email protected] and check that it is received;
    this tells you that the GMail account is setup correctly and working
    Testing iCal:
    I noted that iCal was deleting any emails that arrive in the inBox in Apple Mail as soon as they arrived (this is to be expected);
    test that the invites are being sent from iCal by setting an event in iCal and inviting your non-server address (you may not see any sign of this in Apple Mail but you should catch it in the iCal server log and possibly in the Gmail sent mail box);
    check that the invite is received at your non-server account and Accept it in iCal on another machine - the reply is automatically sent back;
    the replies appear in Apple Mail but are quickly deleted by iCal. But their record for you to see is left in Gmail under 'All Mail';
    Accepted invites appear as a notification button on the top left hand bar on iCal where you click to acknowledge them and then the attendee is shown as a green circled tick instead of a grey circled ?.
    this shows that iCal invitations are working correctly. Whenever an event is updated, all invitees should be updated by email automatically.
    I hope this helps anyone - I could certainly have done with something similar when I started with looking at this.

    The Error and Access logfile in the Server app under iCal server are very useful in determining any errors. I got lots of imip errors when I didn't quite have the settings right. The port is critical and it won't tell you this is the problem if it fails.

  • Customize ical server  email invitation to events?

    Is there a way to customize the email invitation that iCal server from snow leopard Server that sends to people outside of the organization when there is an event? maybe fonts? some custom text or company logo?
    Thank you.

    iCal Server sends invitations to internal users too if you remove the email addresses of your internal users under "Info" in Workgroup Manager.
    So the Open Directory does not have an entry for the users with your internal domain, which makes iCal Server see the user as an external one.

  • ICal Server email invitations with external mail server

    So I see lots of people have worked out the kinks to get iCal Server to send invites to external email accounts when using the Mail server on the same machine as the iCal Server, but who has it working when the mail server is somewhere else? Any help would be appreciated... I have setup it up like this:
    Email Address: [email protected]
    Incoming Mail Server: mail.mailserver.com
    User Name: com.apple.calendarserver (I created this account on the mail server)
    Password: Same as the one in my keychain for com.apple.calendarserver
    Outgoing Mail Server: mail.xyz.com
    Username: com.apple.calendarserver
    Password: Same as the one in my keychain for com.apple.calendarserver
    When I send invites, this is what I get in the logs:

  • ICal Server Email invitations HTTP post to SMTP server?

    Hello all - We have an iCal server truing to post HTTP to an external SMTP server for email invitations. In the caldav error log:

  • ICal Server sends invitations via external email but no RSVP

    I have set up a fresh install of Mavericks Server (10.9.3) running DNS and OD Services and now enabled iCal Server.
    I setup invitation of external users via an external email address and  invitations get sent and delivered via email just fine so I guess plus-addressing must be supported by the mailserver.
    However the invitations do not show the RSVP requests and do not automatically get picked up by Calendar.app.
    The server sits behind a NAT router and runs its own Split-DNS setup for the same local domain myserver.xyz.com that the router also redirects to the internal IP address of the server for external access to the iCal Server (so, FQDN is working for the server). The email account used for invitations is hosted on an external mailserver that runs on the same domain (mail.xyz.com).
    Did I miss anything in my setup?
    Thanks for any input.

  • ICal Server Email Notifications to Users On Same Domain

    I am using iCal Server in an environment where a all of the iCal Server users are internal to the organization with emails that end with the same internal domain name.  Is it possible for iCal to send email notifications to those people invited internally whenever an event is scheduled?  Not all of the users are using iCal as their calDAV client so it would be perfect if an email notification went out to the invitees when someone schedules an event.  Email notification works just fine if I invite someone to an event with an external email address.
    Thank you.

    iCal Server sends invitations to internal users too if you remove the email addresses of your internal users under "Info" in Workgroup Manager.
    So the Open Directory does not have an entry for the users with your internal domain, which makes iCal Server see the user as an external one.

  • Mail deleted by iCal "Enable email invitations" - recoverable?

    Okay, folks, pretty stupid mistake on my end.
    Thinking that MacOS is "don't worry about reading the manual" on the server end as well, I set up "enable email invitations" using my own personal email account for testing purposes.
    I wasn't aware that - even though I had selected IMAP during setup - iCal server would clean out my mailbox!
    Odd: it cleaned out both the Inbox AND the sent items folder!
    In any case, all my emails are gone; apparently, this happened while both my Macs were online, so the local IMAP stores on both are also clean.
    DISASTER!
    Does iCal completely destroy the contents of the mailbox it is set up to use, or does it hoard it someplace so that I can get it back?
    Please help!
    Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Hans

    If there are not in your deleted mail (Trash) folder - then I'm sorry there are lost forever.

  • ICal Server - Email notification to server users

    I am running Snow Leopard Server on a small network with 15 users. The server is not accessible outside network.
    The mail server is not hosted by Snow Leopard but by a external host.
    I start to switch each user calendar to iCal Server.
    I have two questions about the features of iCal Server:
    Is there a solution to activate the email notification in addition of the CalDav notification for users registered on the server?
    If a user is out of the network with his laptop (or iPhone), and because he can received email notification how can he receive the CalDav notifications?
    Thank you for your help

  • How can OS X Server email be setup with hosted email?

    We are a small business with our email hosted by an ISP. We are happy with this arrangement and don't want to bring email in-house. However, we would like to be able to setup email (on OS X Server) so that we can access shared email accounts (eg. info@... and sales@....) from any Mac on our network.
    I know we can setup each Mac to access the hosted email account but this is not ideal because when one of us reads an email its marked as read on the hosted server but if the email has already been sent to the second client it will not show up as read there. Likewise, we can't see each other's replies or saved mail because these are saved in the mailbox on each Mac client. Whereas, if the Mac clients were both reading the shared email account from the same mailbox on the OS X Server, this problem would be eliminated.
    I was thinking that the OS X Server email would enable us to do this but can't work out how.

    Camelot - thanks for your reply. I'm not sure though if I posed my question clearly/correctly though.
    I also work with a company who use Outlook on Windows and they have recently setup something similar to what I'm looking for:
    a) they have Public Folders in Outlook - can Mail do this?
    b) they have setup Outlook in I guess a relayed sort of way, whereby the hosted mail is downloaded by the Outlook server and each client then reads from their mailboxes on the server and replies via the server back to the hosted email. This has a couple of advantages (eg. only have to setup the hosted email details in one place, rather than on every client) but in particular it means that when on their network you can logon from any computer and open your local mailbox to read email, see your saved emails & replies (which aren't all saved on the hosted email), etc.
    If OS X Server mail could do either a) or b) I think it would give us the functionality we want. With b) we could access a mailbox on the server from any client rather than having to duplicate mailboxes on each client (and hence them getting inconsistent).

  • Calendar Server Email Invitations

    I have Mavericks server set up solely for the calendar. My mail is hosted externally. I set up an [email protected] account on my external mail server specifically for the this calendar server to use. In the server app, I enabled "Enable invitations by email" in the Calendar service and entered the info for my external server.
    When I create an event and invite my internal users, everything works great. If I invite an external user, they never receive an email. I've tried with external mac.com and gmail.com addresses.
    The calendar error log on the server is showing the following. The firewall is off. Any ideas for further troubleshooting this issue?

  • Error when trying to relocate the iCal server data store

    I'm so frustrated with iCal server already - I setup an advanced server as a standalone and got iCal server working with a couple clients. I then tried to move the data store to a new drive for greater storage and redundancy but as soon as I did I started getting failures from the clients when they attempt to register. The error I receive is:
    "Account information not found
    Unexpected secure name resolution error (code -9843) the server name xservername.myhost.com may be incorrect"
    My server is up and running fine at that address. What do you need to do to relocate the calendar store?

    It appears I have fixed the problem. I moved the directories and lost the permissions and directory ownership. I changed all of the files to RWXRWXR-X permissions with "sudo CHMOD -R 775 MyDocumentDirectory" and I changed ownership with "sudo CHOWN -R calendar:calendar MyDocumentDirectory"
    I then restarted the service. It still wasn't working. I had a hunch that it had to do with the SSL certificate so I created a new self-signed certificate, updated the ical service to use that and it appears to be working.
    Apple, if you're listening you REALLY need to work on the ease of use of this - I stumbled into this solution and nothing in the server of your documentation gave me any help with this at all.

    And No Email is send!
    If changing the Umlaut ü to something like ue in the Sender or Receiver Name everything is alright!
    Thank you Apple for obviously Not testing Lion Server for international use :-/
    Maybe this help someone else who is using umlauts with iCal Server external Email invitations
    Regards

    Hello Daryn,
    Thinks for commenting. I am very upset that Apple just said "No" when I asked for this to be fixed. There appears to be no way to submit this as an official bug that keeps ical from running.
    Apple actually had me reinstall my whole server and the issue was still there and then they just said "Oh, well I will email someone about it.".
    This is the first time Apple has stunk it up in my books. This is bad support for Server.

  • Ical server invitations to external email adresses are sent from "user"@localhost.localdomain

    Hello,
    I have quite a bad time getting the ical server in OSX 10.7 server to work correctly.
    If I invite a co-worker who also has an account on the server, everything seems to be fine.
    When I invite someone with an external email address, an email is sent to the given address, but the sender address is not my Adress but "MyName" @localhost.localdomain.
    Besides the fact, that this looks quite strange for a corporate company to send emails like this, some receipients who use outlook cannot accept these invitations.
    Unfortunately I cannot find any settings where I could change this behaviour.
    The ical server is configured to connect to an external email service with its own email address.
    Can anybody help?

    Hi,
    Is there only a single user encounter this issue?
    If only a single user has this issue, try to move the mailbox to another database and check the result.
    Thanks.
