Both, I think.

(Sorry - I realised shortly after that I hadn't been clear enough.)

If I recall correctly, the original meeting creation generated the
error, and then the email appeared in my TBird inbox as an "update to an
existing event", and doing an "accept" on that generated the error
again, and another meeting update, etc. etc.

I'll go away and reproduce it more precisely with a log capture and let
you know what happens when.

I also suffer the "if I accept another person's meeting request, it
creates a meeting with me as the Organizer" problem, but I notice
managing meeting responses isn't strictly supported at the moment.
[I did try modding the code to add an explicit Organizer, but EWS
rejected that too. I suspect the problem is related to the fact that my
exchange server also wasn't creating the meeting item (as you reported
for your test environment), so the 'accept' first tries to create a
*new* calendar item, which implies me as the organizer.]

Cheers,
Derek.
