Hi @jassonmc,

we are aware of this issue and the developers are looking into it (ref: gromox-510).

I just tested today with MacOS Calendar, which is even worse.
When I enter a new entry in the calendar, that entry does not get synced to the grommunio server. At least I can't see it in the webapp. I tried multiple times. The other way arround wors, so in webapp entered entries appear on MacOS Calendar.
I'm talking about supported grommunio, which is crazy, since there seems to be currently no way, to use basic features with MacOS Calendar or Outlook 2021 LTSC Calendar...
I am running MacOS Sonomal 14.6.1 on a M1 MacBook Air.

Any recommendations?

    jassonmc we see the same behaviour with the grommunio community edition and mac os calendar. however, when i add a new calendar entry and type some letters in the notes, go back to the event title and create the event by pressing enter, mac calendar will sync the event and i see it in the web app. can you recreate that?

      That's REALLY weird. Just tried it and you are right.
      I did several tests now.
      Enter event title and at least one character in the notes, then either click somewhere outside the new event to save it or as you described being in the title field and pressing enter, either way works.
      The important point here is, that you MUST enter something in the notes, then it works.

      I did another test and created a new entry with only title, which does not get synced. I reopened this event and added now something in the notes and saved that event again. That does not work, so you really MUST enter something in the notes when you first create that event, before it gets saved for the first time.

      Anybody else able to reproduce?

        I always type something in the notes, that's the reason why we do not see this issue.
        I guess developer can add an empty notes field to fix this behavior.

          Should I open another ticket for that Mac calendar issue or did you already forward this new issue internally?

            Hi @jassonmc and @alexandergr ,

            I am currently out of the office and without an access to a mac calendar to investigate this issue.

            Does the client actually send the calendar entry created without a note to the server?

              andreaslang
              No, creating a new entry in the Mac calendar, which only consists of a titile an no note, results in a calendar entry only visible on the Mac calendar, but not in the webmail client nor another client with Outlook for Mac 2021.

              It seems, as if the entry is stuck in the Mac calendar.

              Indeed creating a new calendar entry with a note gets synced to the server. Deleting also works (without/with note).
              But creating a simple calendar entry without note never gets synced to the server.
