Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create a calendar invitation, in my case I used the "appointment booking"-feature. But with regular invitation you should see the same effect
- As the owner of the event, edit it (e.g. add a talk room to the location)
- Check the mail account from the invited person
Expected behavior
The invited person gets an update of the appointment
Actual behaviour
The actual behavior depends on how I edit the event:
edit it with the Nextcloud calendar app
If I edit it with the Nextcloud calendar app in the browser no mail is send at all. So the participants never get notified about the changes
Edit it with Thunderbird 102.4.1
The result depends now on the Thunderbird calendar setting (right click on the calendar -> properties)
My default:
By default I tell Thunderbird that it should send invitation mails client-side because this way the recipient get a more "standard" invitation but not our html mail.
Surprisingly in this case a "cancel" mail from the Nextcloud server is triggered:
If I change the settings above and uncheck "prefer client-side email scheduling". No mail at all is send. Same as when I edit the event with the calendar app in the browser.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using the Nextcloud Calendar app and Thunderbird 102.4.1, comparing both Thunderbird email-scheduling settings. Verify the behavior for an owner editing an invited event: recipients should receive an update notification, not a cancellation or no message.
