The first 3 lines of the .ics file are: ============================================================ BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//dhtmlXScheduler//NONSGML v2.2//EN ============================================================ So I assume it is an iCal v2.0 file with malformed entries. The calendar is semi-private, but I can send the entire file in a private email if that matters to you. > >> [On a side note, let me state that I feel it is a bug in Evolution >> that Evolution does display the error messages *only* in the log >> files.

Cluttering the UI should certainly be avoided. I would display an icon http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gnome-dialog-warning.svg next to the calendar in in the calendar list. (Like the one with the two arrows (left-right) which is currently displayed for all my calendars and for which I don't know the meaning.) Clicking or hovering over the icon should then display a message like "Malformed iCal file. This calendar may be displayed incompletely. Please see logfiles for a detailed description."
