Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
Collecting all bugs that @st3iny and I found when debugging the scheduling:
- When deleting events from the trashbin a cancelled email is being sent from scheduling
- When manually cancelling a recurring event, the sent email will be a method="REQUEST" email instead of a method="CANCEL".
- Something's funky with processing calendar objects from an external client. Could possibly be the ACLs. "Submit my changes anyway" pops up in Thunderbird.
- Cannot accept recurrences from external client (internal we have not supported that ... yet)
Steps to reproduce
- Install Thunderbird
- Add Calendar in Thunderbird
- Play around with accepting and declining events generated in Nextcloud
Expected behavior
THe correct email method is set
Events from trashbin do not generate emails
etc
Also, stumbled upon this bug when testing too: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1406402
