Zimbra Calendar cancelled appointment, prevent e-mail to attendees?

[batfastad]

Hi everyone

We've started experimenting with shared calendars in and appointments in v6.

Is there anyway to disable the automatic e-mails that get sent to every single attendee when you make a change/delete an appointment?

Cheers, B

Perhaps I'm being a bit dense here but why would you not want to inform attendees that the meeting has changed or been removed?

Sometimes you might want to inform attendees, other times you might not want to.
It should be down to the users and administrators to make that decision.

There might be times when someone organising an event might not need to inform all attendees, eg: changing the wording on an appointment slightly... correcting spelling etc on an event invite... would trigger the automatic e-mail.

We just had a user wanting to clear out old appointments from their calendar, >2 years old. Instead of delete, the option appears as "cancel".
They cancelled about 50 appointments and there were between 10 and 30 attendees for each. So that was alot of junk that people suddenly had to clear from their inboxes.

Ah, I see. As far as I know, that was added while ago, see the following bug report and attachment - are you saying that doesn't exist any more?

When I just tried to cancel/delete an appointment, I didn't see that option.
