1617558 - invite attendees sender email is wrong

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1587736

(Calendar :: Provider: CalDAV, defect)

Description

[Emmanuel Engelhart]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:73.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/73.0

Steps to reproduce:

Thunderbird 68.4.1 with Lightning 68.4.1 on Ubuntu 18.0.4

1 - Nextcloud agenda using Nextcloud account with user [e-mail]
2 - Thunderbird syncing using CaldDAV with (1) Thunderbird email profile [e-mail] (2) option "Prefer client-side email scheduling" checked
3 - Create a new event and configure list of attendees

Actual results:

Default attendee (sender) is [e-mail]

Expected results:

Default attendee (sender) is [e-mail]

Remark:
It looks like like it just take the user email from Nextcloud whatever Thunderbird profile is configured.

I think you made a typo (actual result should read [e-mail]), and if I am right, I have a similar issue.

I would expect that the "email address" in the calendar properties sets the sender. It is the case for offline calendars, but not for CalDAV-synchronised ones, which will always have the CalDAV user as the sender.

At least, if what I would expect is not possible, I think the possibility of setting the email address should be greyed/disabled in a the properties of a calendar synchronised with CalDAV. But I see no reason why it should not be possible since KMail does it.

Bottom line: there should be a (possible) difference between the user (email address) of the CalDAV calendar and the sender that replies to an invitation. Expected behaviour (I say it with my own words since I am not perfectly sure it is the same issue, but it probably means the same thing as in the original post):

• [e-mail] (my email account) receives the invite event X.
• I click "Accept" and select a CalDAV calendar belonging to [e-mail] (my CalDAV account); Lightning automatically sets an event X in my Toto calendar.
• The organiser receives a response saying "Foobar will attend".

Afasics, this is exactly the same as bug 1587736.
