Hi,
I had set up a CalDAV account a while ago, to synchronize my Zimbra calendar. And it worked fine, and still does.
However, I just figured out that when somebody creates an event with attendees, from within Zimbra, and adds me as attendee, here is what I see in eM Client:
the organizer is not shown as attendee in the bubble when hovering the event,
while it is (well most of the time) shown as such when opening the event, and displaying the “Scheduling” tab
though for some events, it is not even shown in this tab (sorry but no clue about what is different in both cases)
in any case, it would be nice to have a supplemental field in “Scheduling” tab, and in the bubble, stating who is the organizer of the event (only when attendees were specified)
What do you think?
Thanks in advance
I’ve run into something similar when using CalDAV with Zimbra. From what I’ve seen, the issue often comes down to how different clients interpret the event organiser field. Some clients treat the organiser as a separate role, while others display them as both organiser and attendee, which leads to the inconsistency you’re describing.
A practical workaround I’ve used is to double-check the event headers in the raw calendar data (ICS format). The “ORGANIZER” field should always be present there, even if the client doesn’t show it clearly in the interface. If it’s missing entirely, then it’s more likely an issue on the server side rather than the client.
If the goal is better clarity for day-to-day use, then it might be worth suggesting an enhancement directly to the eM Client developers, since adding a dedicated “organiser” field in the scheduling tab would definitely improve usability. I know teams who rely on calendar synchronisation tools from Bright Sparks, and one thing they emphasise is having consistent event handling across platforms, exactly the kind of detail that prevents confusion when multiple attendees are involved.
