One of my friend have a company with about 30 users. Each of them has 40 readonly calendars. Each user have to dismiss over 100 errors for the calendars per day.
They now thinking about to switch to Microsoft.

As version 10 is on the horizon, is this long lasting issue being solved there?
Unfortunately it wonât be in 10.0 when it is released.
It may be in 10.1 though.
This Issue is really annoying! Why isnât emClinet able to solve this with an update? iâm considering to change the Client because of this⌠Time to show some Effort.
Read-Only support is out now, but is doesnât work ?!
(But we were heard. And it is certainly only a little something left. Or I canât find the setting )
Can you explain how it doesnât work?
So what you did to test and, and where it failed? Any errors or screenshots would help.
I create a new contact (EMC and NC) with Birthday today/tomorrow.
Restart EMC
First the message came up again. Then repair calendar
Gary i send you a PM with video
It is possible that the folder isnât detected as read-only.
You can test that by going to the calendar section of eM Client and see if the Show Reminders option is selectable in Properties for that folder.
If you can select it, then it not seen as a read-only folder.
Or you can try create an event in that folder. If you can select that folder, it is not read-only as we no longer show read-only folders in the selection next to the Save button.
If you open a support ticket with us, we can look at some logs and see if we can improve the way we detect read-only folders.
Thank Your Gary, this is long time our solution.
But if we disconnect our server (due to NC Server or APP update) and one client is happens to be online, than is the property âShow remindersâ setting ALLWAYS active after reconnect - and the trouble begins.

If the folder has the show reminder option selectable, then it hasnât been detected as readonly.

Thank You for the Update 10.1.4588.0,
but READ-ONLY calendar support with Nextcloud birthday calendar is not working - the same procedure. (Unless there is a special option)
With NextCloud, the birthday folder is not detectable as read-only, so it doesnât automatically fall into the changes we have made for this.
We are working on a way to detect it but unfortunately NextCloud doesnât identify itself as NextCloud nor SabreDAV, but a generic Apache. So we canât just say, Oh this is NextCloud so we can assume that folder is read-only, even if it doesnât say it is. We will need to have some other method of guessing what it is. That may take longer as it is non-standard.
Until we can do that, just choose Properties for that folder and untick the option to show reminders.
Hi there,
I am using the CalDAV birthday-calendars from mailbox.org and am having the exact same issue. Othere than that, emClient is a nice piece of software that I am happy paying for the pro version, but the continuing errors on every startup of emClient are extremely annoying.
My emClient Version is 10.1.4588, so seems to be the latest.
The birthday-calendar-folders show the option to show reminders, so apparently they are not identified as read-only.
Unticking the box the show remdinders manually does not change anything, I still get the same error on every startup of emClient (like VanKurt above from 4 years ago:)
The error is as follows (free translation from German):
Uploading the event âXXXâ failed
You can delete the element locally or ignore the error.

The server responded with error: Forbidden.
@Gary I understand that some sophisticated auto detection for caldav read only calenders might sound sexy. But if there is no real standard out there and every caldav service provider handles this differently:
=> As a quick solution in the meantime: You seem to have everything else in place to handle read-only caldav calendars, just the detection if it actually is read-only is spotty.
=> So why not just give the emclient user the option to just set this specific calendar to read only manually? Maybe just another checkbox in the properties window below the âshow remindersâ Checkbox: set this calendar to read only ?
WOW last version 10.1.5131.0 
is read-only calendar reminder by default off â NICE
a small step in the right direction
