ics import is empty from MS Exchange Server 2010

Hello

The ICS import of meeting invitations fails with the message "no content in file", obviously because the file contains organizer and attendee information like this:

Code: Select all

ORGANIZER;CN=".....":mailto:xxxx@yyy.com
ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;RSVP=TRUE;CN=......:mailto:ffff@vvvv.com
When I delete these entries manually, the import works. Can this be solved in the next version by ignoring these entries?

Regards
Kurt

It surely can. Please forward us a sample ics file with the above mentioned contents, will double check it starts working as it should after a fix. Thanks.

I have investigated the problem further. My older mail client Forte Agent saves the ics attachment in ANSI code. This fails the import. If I convert the ics to UTF-8, then it can be imported without problem. So, the problem seems to be the Forte Agent settings. Perhaps I have to switch to the built-in mail client of EssentialPIM, which reads the ics attachments without problem.

Understood, thanks for the update. Switching to and using EPIM as an email client is always a good idea :)
