This BUG has persisted for over two years. Reiterating this question/bug report since it is a constant irritation and for which there was no response previously...
With all the various iterations of the TB Calendar including the latest (currently 115.10.1 - 64bit), it has always been a mystery as to how the organizer email address is selected when creating a new calendar item with invitees. It seems to be somewhat random and it changes for no apparent reason.
In my context I show three calendars, all remote (fruux, CALDAV). All three are configured with usernames and email addresses appropriate for the calendar.
There are two fields in an external calendar properties settings that might apply:
Username - the email used to access the external calendar....Not appropriate to use for the 'organizer'.
Email - according to the documentation "This is the email address Thunderbird uses to send invitations for events." This would be appropriate as the default organizer but it isn't what is used. Instead the Username email is used. THIS IS A BUG.
One would expect that for a calendar item created, when inviting attendees, the organizer would be the email address configured for the calendar but this is *NOT* the case. Instead, it seems an address is plucked somewhat randomly and applied to the field.
Is this something that can be configured or is it just a BUG? It is painful to have to constantly correct the organizer email and results in confusion with my meeting participants, especially when the invitation arrives from a strange email address.
Note that with upgrades to TB 115 and beyond I completely replaced my TB profile from scratch and the problem has persisted across the profile rebuild. So that does not seem to be a solution to the issue.
