Invites from Outlook (Exchange 2010) not added to Google Calendar

[Danny Morrow]

When I receive an Outlook invite from Exchange Server 2010, it doesn't get added to Google Calendar properly.

[calGoogleCalendar] Setting Upload Data (application/json; charset=UTF-8):

{"start":{"dateTime":"2014-12-02T16:00:00-05:00","timeZone":"Eastern Standard Time"},"end":{"dateTime":"2014-12-02T17:00:00-05:00","timeZone":"Eastern Standard Time"},"summary":"app status check in","description":"\n\n","location":"Web room","transparency":"opaque","visibility":"public","sequence":"0","status":"confirmed","organizer":{"email":"xxx@xxx","displayName":"x"},"attendees":[{"email""xxx@xxx","displayName":"xxx","responseStatus":"needsAction"},{"email":"xxx@xxx","displayName":"xxx","responseStatus":"needsAction"},{"email":"xxx@xxx","displayName":"xxx","responseStatus":"needsAction"},{"email":"xxx@xxx","displayName":"'xxx'","responseStatus":"accepted"}],"reminders":{"overrides":[],"useDefault":false}}

[calGoogleCalendar] A request Error Occurred. Status Code: 400 Bad Request Body: {

 "error": {

  "errors": [

   {

    "domain": "global",

    "reason": "invalid",

    "message": "Invalid time zone definition for start time."

   },

   {

    "domain": "global",

    "reason": "invalid",

    "message": "Invalid time zone definition for end time."

   }

  ],

  "code": 400,

  "message": "Invalid time zone definition for start time."

 }

}

It seems that Google is expecting a different timeZone format - https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/QVMFPDv6Zso

Either Americas/New_York or GMT -5:00.

Looking at the invite:

Same with items coming from Outlook 2007 - what to do to make it work?

Same here, invites from my wife's Exchange server at work no longer are added to Google Calendar.  In my case I'm using IMAP and reading the messages through Thunderbird.  Invites used to show up at the bottom in the Status Bar.  Now, nothing.  Only way I can accept them and have them go onto my Google Calendar is to log in to Gmail on my desktop and accept the invite.  It then shows up in the calendar.

I just realized they now only show up if I'm logged into my Google account in my browser (Firefox).  They used to show up even if I wasn't logged in.

Same issue, periodical events from Outlook invites does not show too. Workaround is make small change in event and save, then I can see in Thunderbird. Not it is now solution for periodical events makes by another person, I can edit only one at time.
