Comment 6 for bug 810622

Sorry if this has been answered long ago, but I feel like I have the same issue still, and the above answer didn't really address the underlying problem.

It seems like the main issue is that Provider for Google Calendar / Lightning can't accept an Outlook/.ics invitation into anything except a Local Calendar. Is that correct and by design?

My problem is that the invitation isn't being sent to my gmail account, so having gmail automatically accept invitations doesn't help.

The invitations come into a work account (we're not allowed to use gmail for work), and I need to get them accepted into my gmail calendar (which I can use...).

Currently, I can accept an incoming invitation using Lightning/Thunderbird, but it saves it to my Local Calendar. Then, I have to copy the event into my gmail calendar (in Lightning/Thunderbird).

What I don't understand is why there's not an option, or it's not possible, to just configure Lightning to accept the invitation directly into the gmail calendar?

Thanks very much.
