How do you change the default calendar folder?
I've been using a .PST to track my calendar and would like to move back to
using the Exchange calendar folder. Moving the current appointments was easy, but all new invitations are posted and reminders are still only coming from the .pst file. Also, I warnings about no reminders for new appointments in the Exchange folder. Any ideas to change the default calendar folder? |

Sue: I already tried that without success. It does change where new
messages are delivered, but it does not change where Outlook delivers new appointments and/or tracks reminders. Any other ideas? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Tools | Email Accounts .

That is the correct procedure. Try again. You will need to restart Outlook
after making that change. After you do that, you should see your mailbox in the folder list as the default store. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "AlanP" wrote in message ...

I think I've figured out part of what is going on... First, I started a new
profile from scratch to see if the problems are dependent on the profile, which does seem to be the case. In the process, I removed all my client-rules, which included a rule that transferred incoming messages transferred to a .PST folder. (remember, I used to exclusely store all messages in my .PST) When an appointment is opened in the .PST inbox and you accept it, it is added to the .PST's calendar folder, not the message store's calendar. So, I've eliminated the rule and will be using the Exchange server's inbox going forward. The last strange vestage of this whole issue is a warning dialog that pops up when accepting appointments that says: "The reminder for appointment-name will not appear because the item is not in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK?" How do I get rid of this warning? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: That is the correct procedure. Try again. You will need to restart Outlook after making that change.

That warning sounds like a problem. Accepting an appointment should always
go into your default Calendar automatically, regardless of where the meeting request message is. I'd suggest that you just get rid of the .pst file completely. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "AlanP" wrote in message ...
