172611 - ability to add Outlook requests to Calendar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 59630

(Calendar :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Matt]

Sometimes I get meeting requests that are from Outlook users. It would be nice
to be able to easily add the meeting to my calendar without haveing to create
the event from scratch.. Laziness in my motivator..   =c)

Comment 1

[Mike Potter]

Please attach a sample event to this bug so I can see what it looks like.

Comment 2

[Matt]

Below are 3 messages. The first is a meeting change, the second is a meeting
request, and the third is a meeting cancelation.

Here is a sample message for a meeting update with full headers. This would
change a meeting already in the calendar.

Yes, this feature would allow Mozilla to replace Outlook in organizations that
use Exchange and Outlook for scheduling. Confirming, Platform/OS -> All/All.

Comment 4

[Steve Chapel]

This is very closely related to MailNews bug 59630. Maybe a dupe?

Comment 5

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
