Both.

There was a bug in the code that detected the AS version number (this  
feature only available in 12.0 and above). It was fixed earlier today  
by  
https://github.com/horde/horde/commit/3a1ab8c10ef89b2720ef4886449d344b4846c3a6

WIth that fix, your iOS device should get the notification pop up and  
tentative calendar entries.

This is on purpose due to the issues discussed on your other thread.  
We can't track ORGANIZER since right now in Kronolith, it is tied to a  
Horde username - this is obviously not always the case with invites.

See above. Though I can probably due something with adding the invitee  
as the only attended on his/her copy of the event so that it is  
detected as a meeting. Not sure if this breaks any specs or not, I'll  
have to investigate.

These appear either by clicking on the calendar attachment to the  
email, or by viewing the tentative event that is (now correctly)  
created when the invitation is received.

WIth current Git code, as of a few hours ago this should all work as  
expected. Fixes will go out with the next bug fix releases of  
Horde/ActiveSync and Horde/Core.
