Steps to reproduce:

I got event to my calendar from other person


Actual results:

I have "accepted" event  and it went into my calendar


Expected results:

Body of the event (description) is missing. I am also unable to modify reminder setting. "Save and Close" does nothing. It seems event is like read-only

Have done more tests and discovered that this happens only with recurring events.

Can you please describe in more detail what it needs to reproduce the issue? Do you receive an invitation by email? What kind of calendar are you using? Have you associated your email identity properly to the respective calendar (I guess you haven't, because if so, you should get displayed a different type of dialog). Do you get any messages in the error console?

We have MS AD and exchange. I use Linux with DavMail to connect to corporate calendar using CalDav. Meeting request does user from MS Outlook. Ordinary meeting requests goes well. I haven't noticed any problems. 
But recurring meeting goes wrong. Especially when update comes. User, who initiates recurring meeting usually does not put any body, because venue will in place just before meeting. So when I get update to calendar event I see all the fields. But when I "accept" this update there is no change to calendar description. And I cant change notification setting as well.

How to get error console?

Goto menu -> tools -> error console or use ctrl+shift+j. If there don't show up any obvious errors, you probably would have to enable calendar.debug.log and calendar.debug.log.verbose in the config editor (->advanced preferences).

But due to you're setup, it's most likely, that this is a davmail problem (I recall a releated report some months ago, but couldn't find the bug actually) - have you checked the issue with davmail already?

I have checked DavMail gateway log and it seems you are absolutely right - problem seems to be at davmail. Error log at Mozilla is empty. Debug log at DavMail shows:

Category: davmail.exchange.ExchangeSession Message: Fixed Vcalendar body to server
Category: davmail.exchange.ews.EWSMethod  Message: ErrorItemNotFound Location:	davmail.exchange.ews.EWSMethod.processResponseStream(EWSMethod.java:1172)

What should I do next?

This messages indicate that there is a problem with the original event (probably a missing location property), so the server patches the same. Maybe this is done in an insufficient way. But this nothing that can be handled by Thunderbird/Lightning but must be analysed and most probably resolved at the davmail end (or the original sending party).

Have you checked the issue already with the davmail project[1]? If you create a new bug there or find a fitting existing one, I would be nice to cross reference it with this bug, so that other users who experience the same situation get aware of it.

I have registered bug at DavMail. https://sourceforge.net/p/davmail/bugs/610/

Resolving this invalid, as this is not a Lightning issue. However, if this is resolved at the davmail end, you may want to leave a comment her for reference.
