Wow! I am so impressed. Thank you for sharing this. I will keep it in
my little note bag.

All,

I did find a way to make this happen. There is a exception rule "except
if
it is a meeting invitation or update". With that exception added to the
rule, the meeting/appointment will remain in the default inbox, and
accepting
it will place it on the default calendar.

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

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
