The first called Outlook-Invite.ics was sent from an Outlook account to a Kolab account. The event was accepted which generated the second attachment called Kolab-Accept.ics. As mentioned, this second event created by Kolab does not work with any Outlook version I've tried, it shows up as an attachment and the recipient cannot be accept or update their Outlook calendar with it. The same Outlook behaviour happens if the event is first created in Kolab.
