Blackberry not receiving meeting invitations

My husband & I both have Blackberry 8330's. We are on BIS and only use our personal e-mail accounts. When he sends me a meeting invitation, I receive an e-mail in Outlook but the invitation does not come to my device. I cannot accept the meeting invitation from the e-mail, it comes in as a bunch of text and doesn't even tell me the date or time of the meeting. It doesn't seem to matter if the invitation is updating an existing meeting or a new one. He receives invitations that I send him just fine.
Does anybody have any ideas what the problem could be?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you tried, for both BB's, to delete and re-create the BIS profile?
Also, have you compared, item by item, the settings within the Message app config on both devices?  Perhaps something is set one way on one and differently on the other?
Also, have you compared the OS level of the two devices to be sure they are as well the same?

  • Calendar Server user can not receive external invites

    Hi,
    We have a MacPro running ML Server 10.8.5 with 10 user accounts using the calendar and file server services.
    Calendar server is where the issue is. We have 10 + users that are set up to send and receive external invites in calendar server without a problem. Recently, one of the user accounts stopped receiving external invites. The problem began not long after I set up a second account for the same user for their shared calendars (they requested this so all shared cals were not on their iOS devices). Although I used a separate email, it was an alias of the first so may have caused a conflict / problem (?). I got rid of the second account with no change to the first. 
    The account still receives invites from the other internal user accounts and the other services such as file sharing are unaffected. There are no other problems with the functionality of that user, in calendar or otherwise.
    I have tried changing the email associated with that user account and setting up a new test user account (in Server). The email invite will still not come through.
    I have changed it back to the way it was originally.
    Summary
    One of 10 user accounts does not receive external invites
    Was working until recently
    The account can send invites to external addresses
    Same email address will not work even when associated with a different account
    I have included a large section of the calendar error log from the part that references the email address (in red) attached to the user account in question. Apologies, I am not familiar with deciphering this information. That is why I've come here.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks so much for your comment ~morgen.
    Sorry, I should have mentioned, that it what my first thought so I tested by ensuring the email address associated with the user account (not hosted on the server but by Google Apps) is recieving all other mail.
    I have also tried:
    - Setting all accounts (calendar, email and contact card with associated email address) in another local user on a defferent Mac. So it's not a local user or Mail app issue.
    - Sending invites from different Calendar apps and email accounts - iCloud, Gmail (both using Apple Calendar and the web interface).
    That's why I came back around to thinking it must be calendar server related. However is there is absolutly no conntact with the server with incoming email invites I must be looking in the wrong place (and the wrong forum - sorry!).
    Does anyone have any ideas where I should be focusing my efforts?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Blackberry not receiving email or accessing internet

    My Blackberry Bold 9650 is not receiving email from any of my 3 accounts and it is not accessing the internet. I know this happened once before. I ran the diagnostic for the under options - mobil network. But I don't remember what to do  next.
    Please help.

  • Meeting "Invites" not received as "invites" but as empty emails

    My family all have Blackberries of varying generations and updates. We are on a Verizon family plan.
    We frequently use the "meeting invite" function to send each other calendar entries of our activities, in order to do the "family synch" of logistics and administrivia.
    However, in the past few days, we noticed that our "invites" to each other are arriving to the recipients as emails--empty emails. The only thing on the email is the FROM and the TO and the subject line. The rest of the email body is empty and there is nothing about the email to indicate it is a calendar entry or meeting invite. There is no place for the recipient to "accept" "decline" or "mark as tentative," either. There is no indication to the sender that the invite was received or responded to in any way, either.
    It doesn't seem to matter which one of us is sending which other one fo us a meeting request...it is just not arriving as a request or invite at all.  Ironically, my office Blackberry--the oldest of all of them--is the only one that can still send an "invite attendee" for a new appointment or meeting request, and it will arrive in a useful format to the recipient, who can than "accept," etc.  However, it will no longer receive the "invitation" correctly, but instead it also gets the request as an obscure email.
    Please help! Our family's sanity depends on this function!

    I Fixed mine..  This is how
    1.  Contact Blackberry Tech support and mention tis article
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB17471
    2.  Then advise then of this solution
    Resolution: 
    Reintegrating email address to use POP instead of MSNMSP resolved issue
     Then all your issues are fixed.  Good luck

  • Lotus Notes (Domino) Meeting Invitations from Mail to iCal

    I use an iMac at work and a MacBook Pro at home. They recently switched to a Notes-based calendar program at work, and since I don't have the Notes client installed on either machine (someone from our IT department has spent about four hours trying to install it on the iMac with no success) and the web application only works with IE 6, and there is no provision for synching the calendar with my PDA, when I heard that the e-mail meeting invitations could be imported into iCal, I was all over that.
    When I opened iCal on the iMac I found that there was a "Work" calendar, and iCal's "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" box was checked, there were no entries in the Work calendar--or any other calendar.
    When I initially looked into it, I found several threads (e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5186410) in the iCal forum about time zones not being imported correctly (I wish my problems were that minor!) from Lotus Notes meeting invitations. But these threads showed vCal messages and mentioned error dialogs. I hadn't seen any dialogs, and my meting invitations are just plain text messages like this:
    ======================
    Meeting Invitation: Norman Conquest has invited you to a meeting
    Meeting Details
    Subject: Let's Kill an Hour, Shall We?
    Begins: 11/26/07 9:00:00 AM
    Ends: 11/26/07 10:00:00 AM
    Location: The Bored Room
    Chair: Norman Conquest
    Required Invitees: Upton O'Good, Natalie Attired, Hugh Mility, Justin Case
    Optional Invitees:
    To view all the details of the meeting and act on it if necessary, please
    click the link below to view your calendar
    ======================
    So I just assumed I was foiled again because the messages were not in the right format.
    Later I happened to open my MacBook Pro, and, much to my surprise, I found that a small number of meetings had actually found their way into iCal, and in at least one case I know of, one has actually been rescheduled! I could hardly contain myself.
    At first I thought the small number of meetings was simply due to the fact that I receive most of my work e-mail at work, on the iMac, so only those meeting invitations that I happened to open for the first time on my MacBook Pro had been imported. However, this turned out not to be the case, as I have observed many cases in which I have received new, unread meeting invitations on my MacBook Pro which have not been entered in iCal.
    But what's really got me is that this whole process is so inaccessible! You'd think there would be preferences where you could tell Mail what kind of invitations to look for and tell iCal which calendar to put them in. But no. There's just one checkbox to turn the process on or off. You just check it and cross your fingers.
    Just to deepen the mystery a little bit, I do know of one other Mac user who says his invitations are being reliably entered into iCal, and he can even reply to them. When I asked him for details he told me he just turned it on and it worked.
    Is there anyone out there who can at least shed a little light on what I've observed, if not help me get this process working at least quasi-reliably? Is this process working for anybody else out there?

  • Receiving Meeting Invitations In iCal

    People who are Mac Entourage or Windows Outlook users can invite each other to meetings and can reply just fine. As a user in Mac's iCal program I receive just an email with meeting details embedded as text but no automated meeting functionality include the ability to reply.
    If you know of a fix I'd be grateful.

    They sent an invitation through their meeting invite feature.
    Meeting invitations to myself are fine. I believe this is an issue between Apple and Microsoft, though I'm not sure why this is an issue in the first place because both should be complying with the iCal standard (the meeting format standard, not Apple's program).

  • I can send event invitations from ical but can not receive them --invites go to another family member email

    I am using Lion and everything was working fine -- until I got a new mac and set the older one up for my husband and put his user account on the old mac.
    Now I can send ical invitations out and can get replies -- but if someone else originiates an invitation to me -- I don't get the invite on my new mac.  My husband gets it on the older mac I set up for him in his Ical.  We have totally different emails and when I click on the email name in the invite it is addressed to me and my email address but it comes on my husband's ical.
    I can't figure it out???
    If I originate the event invite I have no problem getting the replies -- but when someone else originates the invite -- it comes on my husband's ical (with my name and email address)
    Please help -- this is driving me crazy!!

    Hello. Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I'm having the same one. My wife's iCal invitations are showing up in my iCal "Inbox" but are not coming to me via email. I discovered this while troubleshooting the issue just now...and saw that I had 10+ iCal invites for which I never received email notifications.
    I never proactively check iCal, so definitely need to resolve this issue, as receiving emailed invitations is the only way they're filed into my iCal. Thanks for any insight!

  • Office365 User not receiving Meeting Request Email (but shows in Calendar)

    Hi,
    We have one user (so far) who has successfully migrated from Exchange 2007 to 'Office365' but when you sent them an meeting request they do not get ANY email notification of it. No Spam, rules, junk email are affecting it. There are no delegates on the account.
    I have removed the Office365 user license for them and then re-added it but made no difference.
    If the user goes into the calendar they can actually 'see' the meeting and accept / decline it in there but we obviously need the user to get some email notification of it so they are aware of a meeting and now get a 'surprise' meeting they knew nothing about!
    Other migrated users are able to receive email notifications of meeting requests without issue. There is just no trace of it for this user.

    Hi Peter,
    As per your description above, I understand that one user cannot receive meeting requests, instead, the meetings are placed on their calendar directly.
    I would like to confirm that whether he/she configured the email account into any Outlook clients, or actually we are talking about the web-based Outlook in Office 365 portal?
    If this is an issue in the Outlook desktop client, please check if you have ticked the option of
    Automatically accept meeting requests and remove canceled meetings
    under FILE>Options>Calendar>Auto Accept/Decline... Try untick it and verify again.
    If Outlook client is not involved here, I would suggest you post your question in the forum of Office 365 Community - email and calendar, where you can get more experienced responses:
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158.aspx
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
    Hope this helps.

  • ICloud calendar is not receiving any invites (not on iOS, not online)

    I just recently started using iCloud.  Have a @me.com mail address and also some other (non-icloud) mail addresses.
    Now when I send an invite to my @me address, I receive the invite in the mailbox but not in the calendar (not on iOS and not on icloud.com).
    Any ideas?
    Apart from that, I have also setup forwarding on my Google Apps address to my @me.com address.  The calendar invites send to that address are not shown in calendar either.  Anyone any idea what I might try?
    On my iPhone, calendar sync is enabled for my iCloud account.
    Thanks for any help!

    There are two problems here: The badge on the icon not indicating unread messages and the notification banners, alerts, sounds, etc. not appearing. I suffered from both of these problems. (I wasn't getting notifications of either type.)
    After doing this "load/unload" trick (from krinchan in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5480178):
    launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.soagent.plist
    launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.soagent.plist
    the notification banners and sounds returned to normal.
    The problem w/ the badge on the icon not appearing was fixed after restarting the Dock (thanks foobaratanometer in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3743614).
    Just my two data points.

  • Some delegates not receiving meeting requests

    Hello,
    I have an odd issue where there are 3 delegates assigned to a conference room Room Mailbox.  It is setup in the correct way for in policy requests and out of policy requests and Recourse booking attendant is turned on.  
    Only 1 of the three users is receiving the approval requests.  
    Anyone have any idea why my 2 other users are not receiving the approval requests?  They each have full access permissions to the room mailbox and they are listed in the delegates for this mailbox.  
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi,
    Please run the following command for this room mailbox ro check the calendar processing configuration:
    Get-CalendarProcessing roomA | fl
    Please make sure these 3 delegates are all listed in ResourceDelegates paremeter. If the configuration is not correct, please run Set-CalendarProcessing cmdlet to configure it.
    If all configurations are proper, please remove all delegates then re-add it back to have a try.

  • Phone DOES NOT handle Meeting Invitations

    If someone sends me a meeting invitation from Outlook to either my gmail address or any of my two "other" email addresses, I cannot respond to the invitation nor can I insert the meeting event into my calendar using the phone. 
    I thought this was a fundamental function of any smart phone with a calendar.  It was on my last 2.
    Why can't it be done with a Droid ?
    If it can, can someone help me find out how ?

    hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the Apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • HT1688 I've created a sharing album on Photo Stream. I've entered my husbands icloud email address so that I can share it with him but he is not receiving the invitations. Can you please let me know if I am doing something wrong?

    I've created an album on Photo Stream and I've added my husbands icloud email address (subscribers) as well as mine (just to test it out) and invitations say that they have been sent but no emails are generated or received. I have checked my emails spam folder just in case but nothing has been received. Please help!

    This does not answer my question. I'm doing everything correctly but no email is generating that asks the "subscriber" to be invited to see my album.
