Not sure what you mean by "since the beginning" since OL2013 support  
was added fairly recently.

Anyway,I remember there being a known feature/bug in OL2013 where  
accepting meeting requests puts the resulting calendar entry in the  
*local* calendar and not the ActiveSync calendar so it is never  
synchronized. I haven't checked for any updates on this lately, but a  
google search should shed light on this.

Cannot reproduce. Accepting the meeting on my WP 8 device sends the  
correct MEETING_RESPONSE command to the server which triggers the  
creation of the new event. Additionally, the device asks to send the  
response to the ORGANIZER and if selected, sends an appropriate iTip.   
The only issue was Horde was also generating an iTip response so the  
ORGANIZER may have received multiple response emails but that should  
have no affect on the creation of the calendar entry.

^^^ This suggests that there is either an issue with the Wbxml that  
the client is sending up to the server, or we are not properly parsing  
some data correctly. I would need to see the synclog to see what is  
going on.
