Ok. What settings exactly am I looking for? Haven't found anything in
there that at least *seemed* related to my problem.

I'm using SMTP on our local corporate MX, recipient is on the same
server as I am.

Outlook apparently does display the usual "accept" / "decline" button
but upon trying to accept, there is an unqualified error message
claiming that Outlook wasn't able to process the invitation.
Unfortunately I'm not able to, in there, see any more on what's
actually going wrong. :(

Evolution is 3.18.5, Outlook is 2016. 

Thanks again and all the best,
