1780230 - "Party crashing" dialog can incorrectly indicate receiver is not on the attendee list when they are.

Status: NEW

(Calendar :: E-mail based Scheduling (iTIP/iMIP), defect)

Description

[Lasana Murray]

STR:

1. Have two email identities, referred to here as A and B.
2. Have only one calendar configured with B as the email identity.
3. Receive an event inviting A. Because there is only one calendar, the calendar selection dialog is skipped.
4. Accept the event sent to A.

Expected Results:
Depends on the type of experience we want to offer. Maybe prevent the user from accepting the event in the first place because there is no calendar for A. Alternatively, the "Party Crashing" dialog could display a different message indicating that identity "B" will be used instead. Another way to handle this might be for identities to be determined on a per event basis instead of the calendar level.

Actual Results:
The "Party Crashing" dialog pops up wrongly indicating "A" is not on the attendees list.

That doesn't sound like good options. We must allow adding the event, and response must come from the correct invitee.
We should probably check all the email identities we know of, and if a matching identity is found in the invitees, handle that differently.

I'm still seeing this same misbehavior, with thunderbird 115.10.1
