Apple mail signed into gmail not rendering ics rsvp stackoverflow

A very specific issue!

It looks like you're experiencing a problem with Apple Mail not rendering RSVP information from ICS (iCalendar) files when signed into a Gmail account.

After some research, I found a few potential solutions that might help:

  1. Check your Gmail settings: Ensure that your Gmail account is set to allow ICS files to be imported. Go to your Gmail settings, then click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab. Make sure that "Enable POP" and "Enable IMAP" are selected.
  2. Disable "Convert text signatures to HTML": In Apple Mail, go to Mail > Preferences > Composing, and uncheck the box next to "Convert text signatures to HTML". This might help the RSVP information render correctly.
  3. Try using a different email client: If the issue persists, try using a different email client, such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook, to see if the problem is specific to Apple Mail.
  4. Check the ICS file: Verify that the ICS file is correctly formatted and doesn't contain any errors. You can use an online ICS file validator to check the file.
  5. Contact the event organizer: If none of the above solutions work, it's possible that the event organizer's ICS file is not correctly formatted or is causing the issue. Reach out to the event organizer to see if they can provide a corrected ICS file or offer alternative RSVP options.

If none of these solutions work, you can also try searching for more specific solutions on Stack Overflow or other online forums, as this issue might be specific to your setup or configuration.
