email client that is able to handle calendar invites with multiple email/calendar accounts
Hello all, I am posting this discussion because i am amazed at the fact that I cannot find an email client that is able to appropriately handle calendar invitations to/from myself for multiple email...
- Remove the Exchange account - set the IMAP data file as default and restart Outlook. This creates a calendar in the IMAP data file. Add the Exchange account back.
Accepting the event should send it from the correct address now - but it will be on a separate calendar. Normally this is not a big problem since you can overlay calendars, but if you need them on one calendar, you would need to move or copy the event.

hi,
thanks for the help and your reply. Indeed, what I want is a separate calendar for each account, so that calendar accepts come from the right email address, and so that i can overlay them in the calendar view. I then would like to use CalDav synchronizer to sync all the IMAP calendars to their web versions so they are backed up.
I have 5 IMAP accounts, besides the exchange account, so i followed your advice for each IMAP account after removing the Exchange account: set it as default --> restart Outlook --> set the next IMAP account as default --> restart Outlook, etc. Then at the end i added back in the Exchange account. This has worked partially. One of my IMAP accounts now has a separate local calendar that is linked to the IMAP email account. Calendar accepts are sent from that account instead of the Exchange account. However, for all the other IMAP accounts, there are no local calendars, and calendar accepts still come from the Exchange account. Strangely, the 1 IMAP account for which there is now a local calendar is not the one i set to default last before adding back in the Exchange account (but second-last).
Any advice for how to create a local calendar for each of my 5 IMAP accounts, so that i can accept calendar invites from all of them from the right email address?

- ah i found the solution myself. I only set the default Email account to the IMAP accounts, but what you need to do is set (also?) the default Data File account to the IMAP accounts. Then a calendar gets created per IMAP account.
Thanks so much for the help, this is solved now!!
