Is there anything that is not working for you with respect to handling
email calendar requests in Evolution?
Note that the iTIP/iMIP support is not finished, but it should pretty
much work. What specific problems are you having?

If you are writing a C program, you can use the CalClient API from
Evolution to access your calendars. If you are using some other
language, you can use the CORBA interface directly. Please feel free
to ask if you need assistance with this.
