Hi, I added an Exchange (Office365) account and sync works quite nicely, Unfortunately, calendar invitations cannot be opened or accepted/declined in the E-mail app. Additionally, in calendar new appointments can be added but it is not possible to send invitations to other people. Is there some kind of work around for this or is this a known restriction in sailfish OS? Thank you for your help C.

Update Nov 2019: This has meanwhile been (partially) implemented in SFOS 3, I have seen corresponding strings in the localization tool and some new features in the Calendar and Mail apps. I have not tested the functionality myself. Please add comments if you like to report what is actually possible now with the stock client apps.
Old answer text: This is a known limitation of the SFOS email client. The stock mail and calendar clients interoperate minimally, and they especially lack collaboration features like the ones you mention. Stock clients on other mobile OSes usually only implement some of these features, too, and do this in a clumsy fashion. (Windows Mobile being an exception here.)

Hi @Caluna, there is already a question/feature request for better invitation handling: https://together.jolla.com/question/5431/feature-request-mail-app-and-calendar-should-handle-invitations/

Not really an answer still it might help: The web version of office365 works well and can be used to overcome the SFOS mail shortcomings.
