It is apparently not a 'universal' bug, as we have never had this problem. To clarify - you are talking about the Thunderbird that you use to actually add the event, right? Other people won't see it until their next calendar sync interval. Can you provide more details about your environment? -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

Hi Marc,
Yes, there is a way to change this. Tanmay (tchaud...@simscale.com)
spotted what is going on back on 2nd May. I was away on holiday last
week but have tested his solution and it works fine for us.
In summary, the SOGo Connector does not employ any smart logic or
communicate with the SOGo backend on the server to help it calculate the
Cal/CardDAV URLs. Instead it simply uses the username from the first
IMAP account configured in Thunderbird and injects it into the URL. If
you have your IMAP account in Thunderbird configured to use a simple
username you get something like:
https://www.example.net/SOGo/dav/username/Calendar/personal/
Whereas, if you log into your IMAP account using an email address
(usern...@example.net) you get:
https://www.example.net/SOGo/dav/usern...@example.net/Calendar/personal/
You next need to check which of these SOGo is configured to expect in
sogo.conf:
SOGoUserSources = (
{
type = ldap;
CNFieldName = displayName;
UIDFieldName = mail;
MailFieldNames = ( mail, otherMailbox );
baseDN = CN=Users,dc=example,dc=net;
bindDN = CN=auth-sogo,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=net;
bindFields = (sAMAccountName, mail);
bindPassword = strong_password;
canAuthenticate = YES;
displayName = Global Address Book;
hostname = ldap://127.0.0.1:389;
filter = mail = '*';
id = directory;
isAddressBook = YES;
}
The key part here is the UIDFieldName. If this is configured to expect
a username, then log into IMAP with a username in Thunderbird. If it is
configured to expect an e-mail address, log into IMAP with an e-mail
address in Thunderbird.
(An alternative way to check is to log into SOGo with a web browser,
right-click Properties on your personal calendar. On the Links to this
Calendar tab you will see the CalDAV URL and be able to tell whether
your system is configured for username or e-mail address.)
If your users aren't too worried about their local Thunderbird
preferences, you can simply remove their profile and re-configure it
using the correct style of username for your system. Otherwise, the
following procedure (a bit long winded) is working for me:
1. Start TB.
2. Go to Add-ons and disable both the SOGo Connector and SOGo
Integrator extensions.
3. Restart TB.
4. Right-click your IMAP account in the tree-list on the left and
select Settings. Navigate to Server Settings below your account
name and update the Username.
5. Move down to Outgoing Server (SMTP) at the bottom of the list and
Edit your entry. Update the Username field appropriately and click OK.
6. Close Account Settings by clicking OK.
7. Restart TB and log into your IMAP account when prompted (save
password with Password Manager, if desired).
8. Click the Address Book toolbar button. Delete all address books by
right-clicking and selecting Delete. Two will remain (local
personal and collected addresses).
9. Open the Calendar and Unsubscribe from all calendars by
right-clicking them. (You may have to create a temporary new local
calendar to allow the last one to be removed.)
10. Re-enable both the SOGO Connector and SOGO Integrator extensions.
11. Restart TB and log into your SOGo account when prompted (save
password with Password Manager, if desired).
It is possible that after this procedure you will see two SOGo
directories in Address Book after this has completed. (In our case
called Global Address Book from the displayName = Global Address Book
line in sogo.conf.) Work out which one is using the wrong URL by
checking its Properties and delete it. (Your personal address book
title will probably vanish at this stage but do not panic!) Restart TB
and everything will work normally.
I will update the bug with this information in a while. I have been
thinking lots about this as it has been causing me considerable pain on
three customer sites. While strictly not a bug (simply a Thunderbird
mis-configuration) I think the connector should be smarter and ask the
SOGo back-end for the URL of the resources. This way it would support
changing the UIDFieldName style without the horrible local Thunderbird
procedure above. Does this sound like a sensible enhancement request?
P.S. Although I have no connection with Inverse I suspect the team have
been deep in OpenChange integration work for the last few weeks. I'm
sure they will catch up here and with the bug reports prior to the next
release.
Hope this all helps?
Ian.

I use both the Connector and Integrator on all three of our systems that experienced the problem. It is entirely a username matching error, which could perhaps be documented? Read my whole message and you will see that it is actually related to the use of username/e-mail address on the SOGo back-end, the format of which must match the username specified in the Thunderbird IMAP (e-mail) account. When they match, everything works. Otherwise, lots of 404 errors are logged by the SOGo back-end in response to incorrect Cal/CardDAV URLs generated by the Connector. In this case Thunderbird gets confused and the incorrect Calendar behaviour occurs. As I suggest, perhaps an enhancement request against the Connector could make it behave more consistently by looking up the correct URL format on the back-end? When you configure an iPhone or Android device with CalDAV this is what appears to happen. Why not extend this to the Thunderbird Connector? -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

I am seeing the same here on the 2.2.17a release with Thunderbird 31.6.0 (64-bit Linux), Lightning 3.3.2 and SOGo 31.0.1 Connector/Integrator. I get the following warning (may be unrelated) in the Thunderbird log: [JavaScript Warning: Use of getPrefSafe() is deprecated and will be removed with the next release. Use Preferences.get() instead. 1: [chrome://calendar/content/calUtils.js:465] getPrefSafe 2: [chrome://sogo-connector/content/calendar/calendar-event-dialog-overlay.js:15] SCOnLoad 3: [null:0] null ] I thought the behaviour was as a result of renaming user accounts on my system from simply username to username@domain format. However, I am now starting to think something else has changed too... Any other reports/suggested workarounds much appreciated. -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
