This might be (is) an iCal issue, but anyway:

When accepting invitations by email (ics) with OSX (10.10.1) using  
iCal the event initially gets added and auto-accepted (!) to the wrong  
calender and and email is send out to all attendees and the organizer.  
Even if "Don't send me a notification if I've added, changed or  
deleted the event" and "Choose if you want to be notified of new,  
edited, and deleted events by email" in the user prefs (Calendar >  
Notifications) are disabled.

then, when moving the event to the correct calendar (all are horde  
carddav calendars) the event gets cancelled (sends email to attendees  
and organizer) and accepeted again (sends email to attendees and  
organizer).

this behaviour seems to be new. it's unclear to me why iCal is  
triggering these emails (maybe https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3965#c15  
?), even if all notifications are turned off.

another question: isn't horde able to handle internal invitations  
(users are known to horde!) just internally, without the need to send  
emails?
A user creates a new event in iCal or horde webinterface and Kronolith  
places the event to the known user's calendar as tentative. Only  
external users (email adresses not known by horde user management)  
should get emails (ONCE or on usefull updates ;-)
