Description Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2013-03-07 14:26:36 UTC
OS: opensuse 12.2 i686
KDE: 4.10.0
Gmail IMAP account
Google calendar added

When I receive invitation for event and I accept it, it creates a duplicate event in google calendar instead of just updating existing event. When I try to delete duplicate event from google calendar, the sender gets notification that I declined the event.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure kmail2 with gmail imap account.
2. Configure google calendar in kontact.
3. Receive invitation of event.
4. Accept
5. Select google calendar when prompted.
Actual Results:  
Duplicate event created 

Expected Results:  
Just existing event should update with response.

I do see the exact same problem with a different setting:
- my korganizer fetches its calendar from a local Davmail server that  acts as a proxy to the Exchange server of my company.

Fix incidences being duplicated when importing a calendar.

The ETMCalendar already detects new items, so don't insert them
when the ItemCreateJob finishes.

I'm still able to reproduce this issue in 4.11.
Comment 5 Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2013-08-23 12:00:47 UTC
I noticed that when I accept the invitation, it adds event and deletes email but then it automatically creates copy of that email which shows up in inbox. Accepting this invitation again creates duplicate copy. So I think bug is partially resolved that it doesn't create duplicate events on first acceptance. But it creates duplicate email though.

Invitation part fixed for 4.11.3.

Hi guys,

I would like to mention that in my case, I still get a duplicated event when I accept an invite on my current system :
OS: Ubuntu 13.10 AMD64
KDE: 4.12.1
My KOrganizer instance is connected to a local 'DavMail' proxy (runs on the same machine).
My KOrganizer is connected to DavMail via the 'CalDav' protocol.
Behind the scenes, my local DavMail proxy is connected over the network to the 'Microsoft Exchange' server of my company using the 'EWS' protocol. 
My KOrganizer has only ONE calendar.

I've never seen the'duplicate e-mail' issue stated above.
Upon reception of an invite, a corresponding e-mail is received in my KMail and a corresponding event is created in my calendar. So far, so good.
The thing is, when I accept the invite through the e-mail in KMail, then a second event is created in my calendar. This second event is the same except that it shows that I confirmed my presence to the event. Then I do have 2 duplicate events in my calendar: 
- the original event, not yet accepted,
- the duplicate event that has registered my acceptance of the event.

To me, this bug is very visible as the overall reliability of KDE improves. It is one of the latest defects that I can still see in my daily use of KDE.
That would be awesome if you guys had a bit of time to look into it.

Thanks,

Ben

I can also confirm that this is still an issue in KDE+Kontact 4.12.0, (k)ubuntu 12.04
same setup as Benoit above, using DavMail proxy server, CalDav between Korg and DavMail, Imap between Kmail and DavMail, EWS between DavMail and exchange server.  

When I hit accept in the e-mail invite in KMail, it asks which calendar to add it to (I have a personal calendar and a subscription to an ics-based calendar in our shared Confluence service, in addition to the exchange calendar via DavMail as described above).  At this point if I select the exchange calendar then the duplicate event is created.

I can confirm this bug too, with zimbra calendar.

I accept the meeting request from Kmail, the meeting is added to Korganizer instantly.
After 5 minutes (when calendar is syncing) the meeting is duplicated.

Please note that the duplicated meeting has a description, and the first one does not have.

This still happens in 2023. The commit mentioned is only in a repo named "Unmaintained / KDE Pim Libraries" of which the most recent commit is in 2016. Apparently the repos are moved around and this commit was lost. Can't find the files of the commit in either Korganizer or Akonadi repos in github. Idk what's happening. The word "Unmaintained" made me smile though
