When an invitee accepts an invitation to an event created in Thunderbird +
Lightning + SOGo, or through the SOGo web interface, I believe the calendar
owner gets an email like :

Accepted: Test Event 8 @ Wed Feb 17, 2016 3pm - 4pm

When viewing that email with Thunderbird + Lightning or through the SOGo
web interface, I get an Update or Update Status button.
It looks as though, only after clicking that button, does the attendee show
up with the Green circle next to their name when viewing the event's
invitees, to indicate they have accepted the invitation.

Is there some configuration option to make the status of the invitee update
automatically when they accept an invitation to an event, without the need
to click the Update button in the Accepted notification email?

If the accepting user is a SOGo user and he accepts via web interface,
then the event participation is automatically updated.
As SOGo has no means of reading those emails, it can not update based on
those alone.

Or, is it possible to have the Accepted notification email go to the event
creator instead of the calendar owner?

This feature should be added to SOGo, because it already exists in Exchange, called "Process external meeting requests and responses."

Basically, SOGo would monitor the Subject headers of emails, do pattern matching for the syntax of the meeting requests and responses, because external requests and responses will have only an email message they are missing the ActiveSync or OpenChange MAPI RPC call to the SOGo server to add/remove accept/decline meeting and appointment invitations.

Instead of how Microsoft does it, which is to enable this setting on a per user basis, SOGo should enable this on a global basis for all users, by default.

Issue:*
Responses from external meeting attendees do not appear in Outlook tracking
*Symptoms:*
Consider the following scenario. You create an Outlook meeting, and you invite one or more attendees who are external to your Exchange organization. Later, you notice that the *Tracking* page in the Outlook meeting does not show the meeting responses from the external attendees. Additionally, if you view the meeting in Exchange Server 2007 Outlook Web Access (OWA) or in Exchange Server 2010 and Exchange Server 2013 Outlook Web App (OWA), the tracking information does not show attendee responses from external attendees.
*Cause:*
By default, Exchange Server are not configured to process external meeting requests or meeting responses.
*Resolution*
Your mailbox can be configured to process external meeting requests and meeting responses. You can enable this feature by using OWA, or an Exchange administrator can enable it for you by using the Exchange Management Shell.

Use OWA to enable the processing of external meeting responses

Outlook Web Access

    Log on to OWA, and then click Options.
Click Calendar Options, and then click to select the Automatically process requests and responses from external senders check box under Automatic Calendar Processing.
    Click Save to apply the changes.

Outlook Web App

    Log on to OWA, click Options, and then click See All Options.
    Click Settings, and then click Calendar.
Under Automatic Processing, click to enable the Automatically process requests and responses from external senders check box.
    Click Save to apply the changes.

Use the Exchange Management Shell to enable the processing of external meeting responses The Exchange Server administrator must start the Exchange Management Shell on the Exchange mailbox server and then run the following command in the Exchange Management Shell.

Exchange Server 2007:

Set-mailboxcalendarsettingsusername -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $true

Exchange Server 2010 and Exchange Server 2013:

Set-CalendarProcessing username -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $true

Note "Username" is the affected user's alias.
