Identify replys by e-mail recipient outside of ics file

[bentuna]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I got a reply to my calendar invite via e-mail including an ics file in Nextcloud Mail. Now Nextcloud says "the invitee accepted your invitation" but it also cannot associate the reply with a Nextcloud user because the ics file doesn't contain an organizer e-mail.

The content of the ics file is:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR

Describe the solution you'd like

How about we do not care if the organizer e-mail is in the ics file but instead just check if the recipient e-mail address matches the e-mail address registered in my account in Nextcloud?

Describe alternatives you've considered

I also thought about other possibilities to match the replys with the right inviting events:

• Using the UID https://icalendar.org/New-Properties-for-iCalendar-RFC-7986/5-3-uid-property.html
• Using event name and time from the ics and checking if there is a matching event in one of my calendars that has a pending invitation to the sender of the reply e-mail

Hi @bentuna

Yes this is a know issue with imip messages from MS products... I have tried to address this already... by adding a quirks mode for when the property is missing...

nextcloud/server#54819

How about we do not care if the organizer e-mail is in the ics file but instead just check if the recipient e-mail address matches the e-mail address registered in my account in Nextcloud?

Unfortunately, we require a organizer property to match the account, this is partially for security reasons and partially due to how the backend is setup.

Can you tell me which version of NC, Mail and Calendar, you are using?

Hi @SebastianKrupinski,

thank you, very good, that you already know the problem. I sill hope we can do something about it.

We are using:
