Hello,

I'm experiencing issues syncing events to an Open Xchange server. The list of events with errors varies, but the error is the same for all events. Also, I'm seeing the error with both single occurrence and recurring event items. Below is the error:

CalDavSynchronizer.DataAccess.WebDavClientException: Response status code does not indicate success: '403' ('Forbidden'). Message:

This appears related to https://github.com/aluxnimm/outlookcaldavsynchronizer/issues/292 but is a different error. It's not limited to recurring events (as is the case in #292 ), but affects single events as well.

I have a similar issue, but only when I change existing events.

Since we migrated to OpenExchange version 7.10.5-Rev39 I get for certain events also the above mentioned error message.

We would need the ics file from the server and the export of the outlook appointment that causes this 403 error, you will find both in the sync report whne clicking on server id/outlook id.
