What I might not have made clear: User A is not receiving the invitation on his gmail account!
* He receives the invitation email on another account (i.e his work account) * In Mozilla Lightning accepts the invitation. * He gets a dialog, to which calendar the event should be added and choses his Google Calendar * Via the API, an event is being created (basically the same way any other event is being created) - All attendees from the inivitation are added have the status "invited" (since in the invitation they are noted as NEEDS-ACTION) - sendEventNotifications is explicitly set to false * All attendees are added to the Google Event. Each one recieves an invitation from Google for the event added to the Google Calendar.
I hope this explains the situation well.

Hi Philipp,
I want to be able to understand your problem clearly first. I assume that User A is using the GData API to accept the invitation by setting his own attendeeStatus to be "accepted" while leaving all other attendeeStatus as they were. Is this correct? And you are saying after this scenario, every other attendees are receiving this invite email again? Thanks

Hello,
There were a couple of posts [1] [2] about this and similar issues, but nothing seems to have happened. The scenario I have is as follows:
* User A gets an invitation from user B, who is using outlook. * User A adds this event to his google calendar, with all attendees - The attendee statii from the inivitation are NEEDS-ACTION which I translate to "invited". - sendEventNotifications is explicitly set to "false"
Actual Result: * All Attendees get an invitation to the event about 24 hours before.
Expected Result: * No invitations should be sent at all.
I think its very important to be able to influence the attendee status of all attendees at least by the organizer, without google sending its own event notifications. If someone is working with a fat client like Thunderbird/Lightning, they usually handle their invitations by themselves, especially if the Email they receive the invitation on is not their gmail address. They will receive their own updates, so my provider needs to be able to update the statii manually. I have aggravated many users that accidentally had invitation emails sent out to all attendees of an event they were invited to.
Also while I am at it, is it possible to set a custom <id> when creating events? This is also a vital feature when working with iTIP/ iMIP invitations.
I would appreciate an answer, better yet a solution ;-)
