At work I have Outlook with an Exhange account. At home
we are using Outlook with a POP3 account from my ISP. I
would like to send a Calendar appointment from one of the
Outlooks and have it added to the other. You can
actually get the notification sent, so an email message
is sent, but the attachment gets messed up. Any ideas?
 
Both are Outlook 2002 sp2.

Outlook versions on both ends?

Do you know what version of Exchange you're using?

The server is 5.5.

You'll have to jump through a few extra hoops, then, to send meeting
requests from work to your home machine:

1) Go to your Contacts folder and open the record for yourself that has your
email address for the POP3 account. IF you don't have one, create it.

2) Double-click the underlined email address for the POP address.

3) In the dialog that pops up, choose to send to that recipient in
"rich-text format."

4) Save the contact item.

What that does is tell Outlook that your address on the other end also has
Outlook, so it can safely send to you in rich-text format.

Send your home address a meeting request and see if that works. If it
doesn't, go into Tools | Options | Mail Format | Internet Format and set
Outlook to leave rich-text content as rich-text and not try to convert it to
HTML. Send another meeting request. If that still doesn't work, can you set
up an Outlook Express account for the same POP account, so we can do some
testing? Set it to leave messages on the server, so you'll still be able to
get them all in your regular Outlook account later.

Go ahead and try sending a meeting request from the home machine to the work
address. You shouldn't have to do anything special (including teh above
steps).

OK Sue, I'll try it tonight, thanks for your help. (I'm
actually sending it to my wife's POP account).

There isn't any way to get a calendar within Outlook
Express is there?

Sue, I have it working when sending the appointment from
work (Exchange) to home (POP). I couldn't get it to work
the other way though as it still messed up the
attachment. I'll try your other advice when I get home
about fidling with the mail format under Tools->Options.
Thanks,
Mike
 
Great! Usually the same changes shouldn't be necessary when sending from an
Internet account, but they should work anyway.
