Mechanism for supporting invites to external email addresses

I'm not quite sure whether this should be handled by the client or the server, but it's basically a show-stopper. Once a calendar account is bought-into the CalDav server, there's no way, anymore, to specify an external email address to be invited to an event.
This might be handled on the client, as a fall-back to the default functionality. More robustly, the server might send out an invite (a la the current invites sent by iCal) and accept responses, which it would then relay back to the original inviter.
I understand that this is not part of the CalDav spec, but it's practically necessary in order to make use of the Calendar Server/iCal solution on a day-to-day basis. In fact, this one bug (and not many of the other rather annoying issues currently present in the Apple Groupware solution) is preventing us from adopting it.
My entire company (Engine Yard) is a big fan of Apple. We all (60 of us) have Apple laptops, iPhones, and the works. Many of our employees cringe at the idea of having to switch to Exchange/Entourage, because they (rightfully) have been sucked in by the relatively good UI design that is typically the hallmark of Apple products.
Unfortunately, this endeavor with the server has somewhat tarnished the general sense that Apple puts substantial thought into its products. Long story short: please help me find a workaround for this issue

If Apple is using this system "internally", you can bet for sure that their version works just fine!
I pray they are going to fix this horrific oversight in 10.5.3, or its really going to start "upsetting" a lot of people!

Attach an Excel File with Email for External Email Address

Hi,
I want to send an excel file to an external email address as an attachement.
I am using the function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 for sending the email.
But as far as I know we can only create and send the excel file in this FM. e.g. we can put the text manually and name the file as excel and add it as packing list and send the document.
Now, my client has a template in excel/word which he wants to send as an attachment always when he sends the mail. I have below Queries:
1. Where and how do i store the template which is in Excel or word? He doesnt want to upload the template each time he runs the report. Can I save the file on AL11? how do i insert the file in this?
2. I have tried standard texts, but his template contains a logo. So, I am not sure if that would work. Can I send the template in Binary and just aapend the file extension? xls or doc? would that do?

Hi,
See if you can matintain the required templates in document management and use them in your reports.
Try the link below for reference.

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.

Okay, got this figured out. Appears that the email server my client's company uses is terminating the connection when the Xserve tries to do anything. I setup a test Gmail account and used those settings instead and everything worked just fine.

When sending a calendar invite to any email address (regardless of provider) that is associated with an Apple ID will not get the invite. Any email address not associated with Apple ID will. Why? Using iOS 6.0.1, iPad, iPhone and PC.

I have sent an invite to an email associated to an Apple ID and that email never received the invite. I then changed the email associated with the receiving Apple ID to something new and removed the original email address (the original email address is no longer associated with any apple ID even as the alternate). I then cancelled the first appointment, created a new appointment and again invited the original email address. That original email address then received the canceled appointment notification and the new appointment invite. This problem is not just with my Apple ID (sending or receiving) but several other people that have tested sending iCloud invites to other Apple ID users. Any thoughts?

Hi Stateler74,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

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.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

Giving users control of their own distribution list control to add or remove external email addresses from their list

We are a Exchange 2010 SP3 shop, we have distribution groups (with over 200 email addresses ) from another email system which has only external email addresses (i.e [email protected] [email protected] and so on …..)
We want to import these groups into exchange. we called microsoft, they said create mail contacts for each address and put those in a Distribution Group. I know this will work.
Our goal is to have the user create / maintain / add / remove external their own email addresses (Not the IT department)
There must be many companies whose requirements match ours. Are there third party tools that would handle creation of distribution list?
Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated ! THank you

I wouldn't give the ability to create contacts to everyone in the environment because it will become mess at some point of time and IT will have to jump to control it
anyway so why don’t from the start...
I would give this to certain people like Leads or Managers of the groups under certain IT Policy so it will be still under control and people
will think before asking their superior to create them and someone gets responsibility to manage these contacts...
Though here is the more specific article on how to delegate creating and editing contacts...

Text file over 200 external email addresses to add to outlook client - Can I import these email addresses to a Group Contact in outlook

Can i import from a text file (text file only has smtp address) over 200 external email addresses to 2010 outlook client - specifically group contact. I did not see an import button on outlook client. It would be very convenient if users can manipulate
a text file which has all their external email addresses import these addresses to one group contact (mailing list)

Hello Christopher,
Please follow :-
Step 1
Open the text file in a text editor, such as Notepad. Each address should reside on a separate line or be separated by a semicolon. You can include multiple fields, such as names and addresses, by separating the fields by a space or tab.
Step 2
Press "Ctrl-A" to select all contacts on the list and then "Ctrl-C" to copy them.
Step 3
Click "New Items" from the main Outlook window, "More Items" and then "Contact Group."
Step 4
Click "Add Members" and then "From Address Book."
Step 5
Click the "Members" field, press "Ctrl-V" to paste the list of emails and click "OK."
Step 6
Click the "Name" field and type a name for the group.
Step 7
Click "Save & Close" to save your changes.
Step 8
Click "New Email" and type the name of the group in the "To" field. You can then compose and send email as usual.

Setting up using an external email address through MobileMe on the iPhone

I have an external email address set up in my Apple Mail desktop client and in the MobileMe web interface. It's an email alias that I have set up with a personal domain that I own. I have that alias set up to forward to my MobileMe account. For sending out from that address, I use my ISP's smtp server, both in my client, and in the MobileMe web interface. I want to also be able to send mail from this external account from my iPhone. I don't think there is a way to do this because when you set up a new mail account on the iPhone, it presumes you are using the smtp server of the email domain you are using, but I'm not, and there is no way during the set up process to set a specific smtp server to use (in this case, I would want to set it up so that the account would use my ISP's smtp server. Just wondering if anyone figured out a way to make this work.

I'd like to know this as well.
I finally managed to set Mail up in a way to use MobileMe but sent from my personal server AND display said address.
However, on my iPhone I can only send email with the "from" info [email protected]

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!
