#318 question: what does the new calendar-auto-schedule mode mean?

[Martin]

(follow up of #668)

what does the new calendar-auto-schedule mode mean?

What does Davmail does? What does Davmail trigger on Exchange?

[Mickael Guessant]

See RFC https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6638 for more details.

Basically, DavMail used to tell Exchange to disable notifications on calendar updates, and rely on the email client to send notifications.
=> this does not work well with recent Exchange versions, including Office365

Now it tells Exchange to take care of notifications on calendar updates, ant tells email client not to send notifications with calendar-auto-schedule.

Now it tells Exchange to take care of notifications on calendar updates

OK. How to activate this? I'm running the trunk version and no email are sent by Exchange.

[Mickael Guessant]

Please retry with 4.8.3

[Martin]

I've retried with 4.8.3, no email invitations are sent with Exchange Server 2013 version 15.0.1347.2

[Mickael Guessant]

Weird: working fine here with both Exchange 2010 and Office 365.

Can you please check EWS messages for the following content:
<m:CreateItem MessageDisposition="SendAndSaveCopy" SendMeetingInvitations="SendToAllAndSaveCopy">

[Martin]

I should be able to check the EWS messages for the following content. What's the recommended way to
log the message content (request and response from the server)?

[Mickael Guessant]

Just set WIRE logging category to DEBUG level.

[Martin]

The message observed in the log is '<m:createitem sendmeetinginvitations="SendToAllAndSaveCopy" messagedisposition="SendAndSaveCopy">'</m:createitem>

which is what you expect (but for the order ot attributes).

[Mickael Guessant]

Note that you can switch back to old mode with;
davmail.caldavAutoSchedule=false
