With Latest Lightning you mean Lightning 0.5 or Lightning 0.7pre? What build?

As far as I know the Gdata provider doesn't support sending invitations via Thunderbird because invitations will be handled directly via Google Calendar (Bug 355226).

The Version used is Lightning 0.5, I would as well check on Lightning 0.7pre also. I belive instead of using Addons from Gdata provider, if I use Gcaldeamon, I think I should be able to sync my calender as well send emails also. we have ten users in our comapny and don't know if this would be a good option. Any suggestion would be greatly apprecianle.

As a workaround, you could try to 

* open the xpi
* open the jar file in the chrome folder
* open calGoogleCalendar.js
* locate sendItipInvitations
* Change false to true

I have no idea how this affects the provider, but it should allow you to send invitations per email. Otherwise, try a nightly build (with a 0.7pre lightning/sunbird). It has more attendee support, as seen in bug 355226.

I have no opinion to gcaldaemon, since I haven't tried it.

Where can I download Lightning 0.7pre??

You can get it from ftp.mozilla.org. Note however you need to build a CVS version of the gdata provider, or wait until bug 393853 has been resolved.

I tried using the ligthning 0.7 preversion (got from the location http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/rumblingedge/archives/2007/09/20070903_sunbird_07_builds.html)  but the result is not good. My google calender is syncing properly, but the same events are not visible in lightning. You could add and send invitations, but its a dummy invitation, the receipent is not receiving any invitations.Thanks.

Did you also use a CVS version of the gdata provider?

Comment 8

No did not, I would try to search for that version gdata provider. Would  it be possible to send me a down loadble link or a location where i could find that version. Thanks in advance for you support.

There is currently no official CVS build. See bug 393853. I'll post a temporary link there.
