Calendar invitation e-mail address garbled

When creating iOS Calendar invitation e-mail address is garbled by iOS. Have anyone seen the same? This is different than other reported bugs in this forum with topic Calendar invitations not sent.
This is how I did invitation.
1. Create invitation
2. Invite by entering e-mail, NOT contact, example: [email protected]
3. iOS will notify that mynameadrcom is not a valid e-mail address, i.e., e-mail address with ALL dots and @ removed! See picture below, with parts of address hidden.
I have the same bug in ML 10.8.2. However, no warning, no logs, "only" effect is that invitation is NOT sent.
Best regards,
Claes

I am attempting to give access to two new users and both have received the e-mail invitation. However when clicking the "Join your IT team on Spiceworks" link they eventually timeout/"This page can't be displayed". The links begins with http://track.spiceworks.com/track/click/... (the click tracking links are very long) and never redirects to the local server. I added a user two weeks ago without experiencing this issue.

Issues with calendar invites from Outlook address that come to my gmail on iPhone

I have been trying for HOURS to get to the bottom of this iPhone calendar invite problem I'm having. I'll try to summarize.
I LOVE iCal and I want to continue using it. Though I have a personal mid-2010 Macbook Pro, I don't use it too much (my company functions solely on Windows). I almost exclusively use my iPhone 4S for calendar purposes. Yes, my calendar is synced up to iCloud. I have a gmail account as my primary apple ID and my mail account on the iPhone is synced with gmail. I've been very annoyed lately as I have been receiving a lot of calendar invites from a friend who has Outlook, and I cannot accept or decline when I received her invite. The events are added to my calendar, grayed out.
After much research, I realized that I had to setup my gmail account as an Exchange account on my iPhone, which I did. I then sent myself a test invite from Lotus Notes, and low and behold, I can now accept and decline!
..but I am VERY particular about my calendar organization, and I want to be able to choose which calendar the event is added to; however, it is added to my exchange (gmail) calendar, I guess because it was received on the gmail server. I want my calendar invites to be received on my ios device calendar! I don't know if having people use my .me account would help, but I don't want to tell everyone to change the email address to which they send me notifications, because I want to continue to receive mail at my gmail account (like the many calendars, I have many folders there and have everything set up the way I want it).
I get emails concerning work, events, tennis matches, etc via my gmail account, and I want to sort them to the correct calendar when the invite comes to my gmail while STILL maintaining the functionality to accept and decline invites.
Is this a crazy question?

I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work. So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

Send calendar invitation from mail

I've gone back to Mail from Outlook since "upgrading" to Lion in order to get around a bunch of problems. Is there any way to take a message in Mail and "forward" that message to the people in the "to" and "copy" lists as a calendar or meeting invitation? Yes, you can copy/paste the eMail addresses but this frequently involves a bunch of editing as the addresses do not come over without extra annotation.

Hello all,
I sync Gmail account with iCal on my Mac, and with my iPhone and iPad. I can see all of my events on all of my devices without a problem, and can send calendar invites on everything but my iPad. Is there a way to add an event invitation option to my iPad's calendar application?
AFAIK MobileMe is the only way to send event invites. If you have a MobileMe mail account then a new 'feature' of iPad Calendar is activated which allows sending invites.
I don't know of any other way to do it.

Deleting calendars & e-mail addresses from iTunes "info" tab.

When I connect my iphone to my Mac, in iTunes launches when I look at the "info" tab there are calendars and e-mail addresses greyed out. (I use icloud so I don't sync my e-mail & calendars on the Mac.) Is there any way to delete those as one of the e-mail addresses and calendars I no longer use. It's not a make or break issue, more of just wanting to clean them out. I am running Lion on a MacBook Pro. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

This is all part of the risk of making yourself a public figure.
Your e-mail address is necessary in your feed file so Apple can communicate with you if needed. Since Apple is not going to manually process that address to remove any bot-blocking characters, you need to keep it "real".
Using a gmail or other somewhat independant address can help limit the visibility of your primary address.

Calendar Invitations Not Showing in "Inbox"

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to get my iCloud Calendar to work on my iPhone 5 with iOS8. You'd think this would be pretty straightforward, but apparently not!
This worked great when my wife and I were both using Exchange hosted email accounts from our ISP. I'm trying to drop the Exchange hosting for my account and if I can do so successfully, my wife will likely do the same, but I'm running into some issues here!
Problem: (after removing Exchange account keeping Outlook.com and iCloud accounts)
When creating a new Calendar item and inviting my wife, she doesn't receive any email with an invite to the Calendar item.
When my wife creates a new Calendar item in Outlook on her computer running Windows 8.1 and sends me the invite (to either my iCloud or Outlook accounts), I receive it in email, but it doesn't show up in the Calendar "Inbox" for me to "Accept" the item. If I open the invite in the email all I can do is "Add to Calendar". Again, this worked fine when trying to use my Exchange hosted email account.
Config:
I have an iCloud and Outlook.com email addresses with the Outlook one setup as my iTunes ID and my iCloud account setup as an alternate email.
On my iPhone I have iCloud setup to sync everything
In my Mail config for my Outlook.com account on the phone, I have it set for Mail only (no Calendar).
My goal is to use the default iCloud Calendar for myself and the Family Calendar for us to share. However, there will be times when I will need to invite my wife or kids to items in my main Calendar so I need this to work!
If I turn on Calendar syncing for my Outlook.com email in iOS then Calendar invites to that address work as expected and show up in the Calendar "Inbox". I've tried removing all of my accounts and only leaving my iCloud account on the phone and still having the exact same issue. Any ideas? This is really frustrating!
Thanks,
-Jeff

I have the same problem and also a few guys in this thread Issue using Google Calendar on iOS 8 (iPhone 6)

Accepting calendar invites puts appointment at wrong time

When I get a calendar invite via Mail on my iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.1.3) and accept it, it puts
the appointment in the calendar based on the invite time basis (eastern time) rather than converting it
to my iPhone time zone (mountain time).    If I pull that same email invite up on my iMac Mail program and click on the
link then accept it, iCal on the iMac places it at the right time.   And, when I sync the iPhone with the iMac, the appointments transfer correctly.
I have time zone support on settings set to mountain time on the iPhone.   Is there some other setting I have to make to
have the iPhone "read" these invites correctly? Any clues as to getting this corrected would be appreciated.

Hello Bruce,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. You may need to turn off the Time Zone Support for the calendar entries to match your current time zone on your iPhone:
If you do not use Time Zone Support, your iOS device will default to the current clock setting. iOS devices that are location aware will automatically set their time zone, date, and time using Location Services. You can verify your current date and time settings in Settings > Date & Time.
To disable Time Zone Support for calendars
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Scroll down to Calendars.
Tap Time Zone Support.
Slide the slider for Time Zone Support to OFF.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: How to adjust Time Zone Support for calendars

I hope this helps get you back on track!
All the best,

Siri - Invite Contact with Multiple E-Mail Address to Meeting = No Invitation

Hi
Wondering if anyone else notices this weird behaviour of Siri when trying to invite a person to a meeting. I know Siri is in Beta but maybe this could help to improve its functionality.
Scenario
- Schedule a Meeting using Siri and inviting a person to that meeting (i.e send out invitation to that person)
- Person Contact in Addressbook has more than 1 e-mail address (like business and private)
Outcome
When trying to schedule a meeting and inviting a contact to that meeting, Siri will ask you what e-mail address shall be used. However, when the meeting has been added to your calendar, the invitee/attendee does not appear in the calendar entry and therefore never receives a notification.
How it should work
When doing the exact same thing with a contact that has only 1 e-mail address in their contact details, Siri correctly adds the person as an invitee and sends out the invitation to that e-mail address.
This is very annoying as I'm guessing lots of people have contacts in their addressbook with their business and private e-mail address.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour or is it just me? Any help is highly appreciated!
Addtional info / Stuff I noticed
- I'm synching my Addressbook through Exchange. Unfortunately, although in my e-mail programm offers different form fields for various e-mail addresses (business, private, home, assistant etc) they all show up as "e-mail" on the iPhone. Therefore Siri could not even distinguish which address to chose without tapping on it with the finger.
- Siri seems to be much more unreliable when trying to schedule a meeting with a person having more than 1 e-mail address. In contrast to having just 1 e-mail address in the contact, Siri almost always responds by saying "uh-oh there was a problem.. could you try again".

Please state your problem and we'll try to help you.

Change send address for calendar reminder e-mails

I use Apple's calendar on my iMac and IOS devices. I often have it e-mail a reminder to me.
The e-mail address being used to SEND the emails is an old one that I do not use and want to get rid of. But, I can't figure out how to tell calendar to use a different email to SEND reminders to my normal email address. Is there any way to get Calendar to use a different email to send reminders to me.
Thanks.
P.S. Yosemite runs fine on my 3 year old iMac. And, amazingly enough, IOS 8.2 runs well on my old iPad 2, slow, but it runs well.

Can you delete the old address in add Invites and enter the new one?

ICal Server won't send invites to e-mail addresses

Set up a new 10.7.2 Server, enabled OD, added 6 users. Set up iCal Server, everything works fine between OD users. Problem is when you try to share a calendar with an e-mail address for someone outside the company, iCal comes back with "The server returned an error" and "Mail gateway didn't find a token in message" shows up in the iCal Server log.
We created a new dedicated e-mail account on their mail server (hosted by their ISP, not by the server I just installed) and put all the info into the iCal settings in the Server app. As far as I can tell that part is working. I also tried creating a Gmail account, but I get the same errors.
Google hasn't been much help. Only reference to the token error was from someone else's calendar server application, and wanted me to edit caldavd.plist (I checked the settings there just in case, and it all is correct.)
The server is hostings DNS for itself, but all other DNS info is being provided by their Airport Extreme.
-Z

Today I reloaded the server in question. Downloaded 10.7.3 via the Recovery Partition, restored the OD archive, and tried to set up iCal. I have exactly the same problem.
I set up a calendar on a Lion client, and try to set it to share with someone who has an OD account. The sharing dialog closes, but no invite is ever sent. If I try to share with someone who is not in OD, I get error messages in the server log.
An entire afternoon of Googling shows a lot of people are having the same problem. Best I can tell, it seems to happen if your e-mail server is hosted elsewhere, as if iCal Server assumes that the mail server is on the same Mac. This is not the case with this setup. Their web page and domain are hosted outside as well, but we have a DNS entry made so server.domain.com forwards to the Mac Mini server inside their office. We've tested this for VPN, Remote Desktop, and FileMaker access, and all work fine.
I've tried two types of configurations, neither of which is working.
1. Created an [email protected] account with their mail host. I used that outside mail server information for IMAP / SMTP settings, but every time I try to share a calendar the iCal error log shows IMAP login errors. Their mail server does not use SMTP authentication. They have the option to use SSL or not, but neither work.
2. Used [email protected], and used the default localhost server info. I then tried to set up the server's built in Mail server to forward mail to their outside mail host. This started giving me
[mailgateway] 2012-04-05 19:51:05-0400 [IMAP4DownloadProtocol,client] Unhandled unsolicited response: ['OK', ['HIGHESTMODSEQ', '1'], 'Highest']
I now get that error no matter what I do, meaning something broke again.
I've gone through several Google pages referring to greylisting, the postfix, etc, but since the server is not running a Mail server, none of these apply.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Lion has been out a year, surely in that time this has been worked out. So why can't I find a solution? Everywhere I look it's either a thread starting out with the same problem I am having, followed by a dozen or so "me too" posts, or it's someone saying they managed to make it work, but their fix doesn't work for me. I'm really frustrated right now, and so is my customer.
Oh, almost forgot... now we have a new problem. FileMaker Admin requires access to port 16000, but for whatever reason the server is blocking that port. It's not running a firewall. Good to know that reloading causes more problems than it solves.

How do I choose which email address to send a calendar invite from?

I use iCalendar for business. I don't want to send company calendar invites with my personal @.mac account. Years ago I had a Bberry and could choose which email address to send it from while creating a meeting in the calendar. Is this not possible with Apple Technology?

Open Mail app. Click where it says mail on the upper left corner of the screen, choose preferences choose accounts tab on the top then select the account you don't want anymore and click the - button at the bottom.

E-mail address added to incoming invitation

Hello,
Last time I get more and more invitiations in iCal (as expected, it's agreed with the sender). Thet send the invitation from either Outlook or Lotus Notes. When I look in the invitation not only my mail address is in it, but also the one of my son (and the sender doesn't know him (and also not his e-mail address). I looked in the ics file I received and that doesn't contain my son's e-mail address. However when I look in iCal the e-mail address is in the list of invitees. When I accept the invitation it comes from my son's e-mail address......!!!
The e-mail address also isn't anywhere in the preferences (iCloud/mail-agende-contacts).
BTW: He uses a me.com account, I use my own web account (info[at]dkconsultancy.nl).
What happens? Anybode an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Hi,
Thanks for answering but thats not what I need
Let me explain more fully.
Every time I send an e mail the address gets added to the recent recipents list automaticaly.
Thats what I want to stop happening.
I want a recent recipents list of just the addresses I choose that I actually need Yes I know that I can edit the list but I have to keep doing it and thats just pain.
So when I send an e mail to a new addres is there an app to give the option message :-
"Hi would you like me to add this new address to your list of addresses?" Yes No
Can that be done?
Thanks
Michael

Post-Snow Leo Upgrade: Calendar Invites Not Working in Mail

In Mail, anytime I get a calendar invite, it shows up above the header with the nifty iCal icon, the meeting details and the options to accept, decline or maybe it. Click and accept all I want, but the meeting invite NEVER propagates over to iCal.
We just upgraded to 10.6.2 to take advantage of the Exchange protocol.

Is there a way to use Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar with a Microsoft Exchange Server that requires a client certificate ?

I have an Exchange server configured to require a client certificate. Is there a way to configure a certificate for Apple Mail/Address Book/Calendar ? There seems to be no option in the account settings to do that (in contrast to for example the IMAP settings).
Any help highly appreciated !

I don't know. Try downloading the certificate and installing it in your keychain. See what happens.

Ical invitation mails with cryptic sender mail address

Hi everybody,
why do my ical invitation mail have a cryptic sender mail address so that no reply can be send successfully.
Sender mail address look like "<account name> <calenderserver+53b1b7f5-5277-4fb2-8e4e-c244cd7fc4cb@<domain>>". The part in bold typo is added automatically by ical server and depends on the ical event.
Looking forward to Your help.
Regards,
Christian

Am I correct to assume that you also have mail running on this same server?
If so, open up your Server Admin, go to Mail, then click on the Maintenance tab and look in the Accounts pane to see what user account that particular UUID# belongs to and you will have your answer

Find server calendar, e-mail address of directory domain users

I'm trying to automate an action to run on our OS X Server machine to e-mail each user his or her daily schedule. My current plan is to have each user delegate access to his or her calendar to one account, log the server into this account, and write an Automator action to which I manually add each user's calendar name and e-mail address. (Automator makes this process much easier than using Applescript or bash or whatever, as I don't have to deal with parsing the iCal files myself)
However, it would be much easier if I could just tell it to iterate through all of the users in the directory domain, log in as each of them in turn, and have each e-mail the calendar to himself or herself, or something like that. My guess is that it is not possible to script something like 'log in', or that if it were possible, the user variable 'home e-mail address' would still apply to the root user, not the user as whom it was told to log in. However, I can't figure any other way to get a list of calendars and their associated e-mail addresses.
I'll probably have to go the route of manually entering each person's info, but if anyone can think of a better idea, please let me know!
Greg

On OS X server all the calendar users are listed in the directory, so you just have to search that looking for user with the appropriate ServicesLocator attribute value. Doing that will all you to get the record name, email address and GUID of calendar users. For each of those you then ned to do a lot of work to get their calendar data for the day. That is not trivial to do.
I suggest you right up a feature request to have an option for the server to automatically do this.
