Thank you both for replying. That was indeed the case - switching 
permissions to delegate-only made it work.

I'm glad it was me :-)

I've tried half a dozen calendars during the last 2 weeks and 
Horde/Kronolith seems by FAR the closest to what we need.

I also have another question about cross-platform integration, mainly if 
you know from experience if the invitation/accepting process works 
between Outlook and Mac Mail/Apple Calendar.

Ideally for us the stubborn Windows users should be able to exchange 
events/invitations/status updates with the stubborn Apple users using 
their dedicated clients, but so far I haven't had much luck in my tests 
as responses to invitations and status updates get 
misinterpreted/ignored between clients. If you could tell me that it 
SHOULD work then it means I'm doing something wrong and I'll dig more 
into it and then post a new question with the details.

Users will understandably prefer (read "insist") to employ their 
respective platform clients for all emails and not have to open calendar 
related emails with the Horde web interface nor to use the same client 
on all platforms (for instance Thunderbird)...

Thanks again!

Best regards,
Andrei
