Thanks for the reply Nikki, but I don't get it. First of all, I checked, and
the second check box was not checked. Secondly, I don't get the connection
between these options (for "Sent" items) and inbound appointments.

Wow, I have never tried this and I'm not sure, but this is what I would
check if I was you:

Open your TOOLS menu
Select OPTIONS
Click the E-MAIL OPTIONS... button
Click the ADVANCED E-MAIL OPTIONS... button

Under SAVE MESSAGES on top there are 3 check box items. The
second one is "In folders other than the inbox, save replies with Original
Message"
You may check to see if this check is on. If it is, then try turning it off.

I've been having a problem with disappearing appointments. I would get
the
appointment in a message, accept it, but it would not show up on my
calendar.
After pouring through the messages in this group, I realized that the
messages were going to folders in my PST file, based on the rules I have
setup. When I would accept an appointment from a message in the PST file,
the appointment went to the calendar in the PST file. Thanks to Sue, I
found
a message explaining how to move (Import/Export) all of those appointments
from the PST file to my default mailbox/calendar, which is the one in
which
reminders will go off.

Now the problem is how to make any future appointments show up in my
default
calendar. I have Outlook (2003) setup to deliver mail to my default
Inbox.
I also have about 25 rules which will move the messages to certain folders
in
my PST file. This works nicely, keeping me from manually having to move
every message I receive. The problem is, as stated above, if I accept an
appointment from a folder in the PST file, that appointment will not show
up
on the main calendar, and no reminder will go off. I've looked through
the
rules, and there doesn't seem to be an exception like "don't move this
item
if it contains an appointment". So now, if I get a message containing an
appointment that triggers a rule to move it to a PST folder, I will have
to
manually move it back to the default Inbox, accept it, then manually move
it
back to the PST folder.

Is there any way to accept an appointment from a folder in a PST file and
have that appointment show up in the main calendar, and not the calendar
in
the PST file?

Thanks
