email client that is able to handle calendar invites with multiple email/calendar accounts
- 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.
to anyone with this same problem, i found a workaround for accepting invites:
To press "edit the response before accepting" in the calendar invite. When i do this, I am able to change the sender from my Exchange account to the correct IMAP account, and then the invite comes from the correct address. You can then keep all your calendar appointments in the default calendar, or you can drag them manually in the calendar overview to other local calendars, as you wish.
Unfortunately, this only solves 1 part of the problem. The other part is that when initiating a meeting myself, when i do that from another email address than the default exchange one, it sends the email from the default exchange email accounts (and adds "via <the correct account>". Again, this looks really unprofessional. The only way to solve it seems to be to create a local calendar for each IMAP email address like Diane_Poremsky_MVP suggested, but i have not been able to succeed so far in doing so except for 1 IMAP account, out of 5.
