Calendar Invites/Change Apple ID

This is sort of a two part issue.

I have tried both my gmail and my icloud email and neither are allowing me to receive calendar invite notifications. I only am able to get invites through my email, which I then have to add to my calendar. I have made sure everything in my settings is set up right.

The second issue I have is related to my solution for the first problem. The apple discussion forums seem to suggest that changing my appleID can fix the problem. When I try to change my appleID it does not save. I click save and the page just reloads and nothing happens. I tried it with a co-workers ID and it let them change it, but mine does not save. Any suggestions or solutions would be great. Thanks

well I still have not figured out why I cannot change my appleID, but the issue with the first problem has to do with users who appleID is also their gmail email.

The work around was to send the invite to their gmail with a + before the @gmail.com. Google recognizes it as the same address, but apple looks at is as something different. I was not getting notifications from a few people for that reason, and still do not think I can get them in the app.

I haven't received calendar invites in months. I've posted the issue here and with Apple for help.

I only get the invites through the app if it comes from another icloud email. I have read that changing your appleID and then changing it back can fix the problem. My problem is I have an icloud appleID, and those cannot be changed.
