If I create an event with participants, of which at least one mail address maps back to myself, the event is not added to the calendar, but silently discarded. This might cause information loss if the user adds an event with a reminder and relies on being reminded once this event is due! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new event. 2. Invite participants, at least one of whom you are yourself. The mapped identity does not need to equal organisers identity. Concrete example in my case: The organiser's ID I used was something like gunter@example.com while I invited staff@example.com, which is configured as an alias for my identity in kMail. However, even if I invite gunters_different_identity@example.com, which belongs to a totally different identity in kMail, the event does not get added to the calendar. 3. Save the event. Actual Results: An invitation is sent, but the event is NOT added to the organisers calendar. The invitation received can not be reacted upon. (It reads: *********************************************** Invitation List invited_address@example.com (myself) Needs Action *********************************************** but you cannot click anywhere, no action link is provided.) Expected Results: The event should have been added to the organisers calendar. The organiser possibly should also be able to perform some actions with the invitation received, although this might not make a lot of sense. It's a rather common case that I create events with an invitation list which includes another identity of mine or even an email alias of the identity used as the organiser's. In most of these cases, the invited email addresses are distribution lists I am a member of.
This bug is still current as of KOrganizer Version 5.4.1, KDE Frameworks 5.30.0, Qt 5.7.0 (built against 5.7.0), KDE Neon package version 4:16.12.0+p16.04+git20161228.0807-0. (So I updated the Again I missed an appointment due to this! Further investigation shows that the event actually IS imported into the calendar - it shows up in the ics file used as the backing store - but there's not sign of it whatsoever in the kOrganizer UI... :-/ So this actually appears to be the same issue as bug 366055. Also, as the import "did not work", this caused me to import some events twice which now show up in the iCal file multiple times *with the same UID*. Probably that should not happen? This also happens for normal events and I'll file a separate bug for this...

Ok, the problem is the following: The event is not displayed if I invite myself, as in this case I have not confirmed that I'll participate. ;) My own participation will be in state "PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION" which apparently causes kOrganizer to hide the event. If I change this to "PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED" in the backing store file and restart Akonadi, the event will appear. While I can understand the reason for not showing events I do not participate in, this behaviour is definitely wrong for events I created myself. If those are not displayed any more, I have no way to further edit or even view them. So independently of the participant's states, events I created myseld (i.e. where the ORGANIZER address maps back to myself) should always be displayed! Additional thoughts: Additionally I'd question the fact that there may be events in the calendar I'm not participating in - why are such events even stored in this case? I could see the point for events which I declined - it's probably important to remember those to be able to process certain kinds of updates for those. However, events in state "PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION" for myself? Maybe if those somehow end up in the calendar, those should be shown as "placeholders", maybe in a transparent or greyed-out way? Also in this case, events which I created myself should probably always be considered as "ACCEPTED" by me.
This behaviour also leads to invitations becoming invisible which * I create myself and * which invite an email address of any other of my email identities or an alias thereof. This means - I create the event, click ok, and it's gone. (Ok, technically, it's in the data store, but there's not way to see it in the UI.)
I also got hit by this issue, I imported an invitation but it did not show in the month view. Spend some time investigating why, can there be at least a placeholder in stead of hiding the event?
I just got hit by this too. I got an invitation ICS file from Cisco WebEx via KMail and as there was no option to accept like there is in thunderbird/lightning So I tried to open and import it. It showed as beeing imported and the akonadi console show it but it is not displayed and I had no option to accept the event. Is there a workaround for this except editing the backend file?
