I'm getting strange behavior with invitations I send from iCal to another .mac address. The invitations never show up (not in the invitee's inbox, nor in his iOS Calendar or iCal) and my iCal shows an exclamation point next to his address in the invitation:
What does this mean and how do I (or does he) fix it?
I'm using iCloud and he is using MobileMe, but I find it hard to be believe that should prevent me from inviting him (or even notifying him).
Keyboard shortcuts: Mail has it's own keyboard shortcuts, which you may have to learn.
Alternate email addresses/multiple accounts: works fine. Don't know about plus-addresses.
Priority inbox: this is not supported. Labels work, as does flagging. Public calendars work in iCal.
Syncing is very easy to set up - via IMAP in Mail, and in Preferences in iCal. In Lion it's even simpler.
Yes, you add each account separately in mail. You can still visit them in any browser or device.
These numbers are only present for users who have enabled the iCal "debug menu", using a third party configuration tweaking utility, or the command line
defaults write com.apple.iCal IncludeDebugMenu 1
which adds them, as part of an additional entry in each invitee's context menu, after his e-mail addresses:
The numbers themselves contain information about the invitee's version of MobileMe or iCloud.
Best Answer
This means that the invite has not been sent.
You should check that the email address is correct, edit the event and try again. If the invite is sent and accepted a checkmark will appear here. If an invite has been sent but not yet responded to, a question mark will appear. This suggests that the invite has not been sent.
Make sure you are connected to the internet.
If all this fails, check that you have set up a card for yourself in the Address Book, as iCal uses this info to send to the invitee.
