Description

Steps to reproduce

See closed issue 703 at https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/issues/703
Nextcloud mail 4.2.3 still cannot handle calendar invitations send from Microsoft 365 accounts. There is no way to add them to the nextcloud calendar. Even if one tries to use 'create event', it does not handle invitations for recurring events.

Expected behavior

Nextcloud should properly handle invitations.

Actual behavior

There is no way to add events to the calendar. Even when using 'create event', recurring events from 365 cant be added.
