As a result, a new bug was introduced which rendered alternate email addresses |
| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | seabadger | 3/3/12 6:25 AM | Absolutely agreed. This issue has made google calendar much less usable. Any way we can get Google to pay attention to this thread? |
| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | crikeymiles | 3/7/12 9:25 AM | As a user with both a corporate Google Apps account and a personal Gmail account, I cannot accept meetings forwarded to me at my work account. My company (a large UK company) just migrated from Microsoft Exchange to "Google Apps". Great, I thought. |
| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | hackerfriendly | 4/16/12 7:11 PM | I also find this consistently infuriating. People know me by my alternate address. It is my public identity. They often send calendar invitations there. Google Calendar dutifully sends these invitations to my alternate email address, but clicking the |
| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | Dan S | 5/16/12 5:41 PM | Actually, the bug is simpler than that. There need not be ANY forwarding involved. An invitation sent to my alternate email address CANNOT BE ACCEPTED at all by me. The comment below by @hackerfriendly shows the error message. This is a simple bu |
| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | comingfrom | 6/27/12 10:11 PM | The "Best answer" is someone else's complaint, how the same problem effects them. Is this how Google sweeps a problem under the carpet? The company I work for have just changed over to use Google gmail, calendar, docs etc. and I need a better answe |

| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | Grace D | 7/20/12 3:29 AM | I'm happy to let you know that we’ve recently released a new setting that allows users to respond to invitations forwarded from their alternate email addresses.

| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | seabadger | 7/20/12 2:33 PM | Thanks, Grace. This is definitely a step in the right direction, as it fixes a part of the functionality (the receiving side can at least add the event to the calendar now).However, it doesn't solve the problem fully, since the sender will get an RSV |
| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | xmaxxx | 7/21/12 7:20 AM | Agreed - feature is still broken as long as there is a mismatch in the from: address, breaks RSVP functionality in all clients I have tried.

| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | calendardunce | 7/26/12 7:28 AM | Agreed. This is broken - and, for me, angry-making. The 'additional' address is actually the address that I, myself, me etc consider to be the primary address but GCal doesn't - it prefers to use the Gmail address (which I only set up so I could use |
| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | Grace D | 8/2/12 5:50 AM | Thanks for the feedback everyone. The change we made recently is essentially making a setting for what existed previously as the default functionality for alternate emails. Completely hiding the gmail address has never been supported and is a valid r |

| Re: Bug: Invitations sent alternate email addresses are inaccesible | Grace D | 8/8/12 5:32 AM | @peter1111, are you saying you don't see the new setting? You have to go to Gear -> Settings -> Calendars tab -> find the row for your primary calendar and click Notifications. It's quite a journey to get there, but if you have an alternate address a |
