Is there a default setting so that when I accept an appointment from a
co-worker, I do not accept the reminder and the busy status that they have
already set? This is driving me crazy!

SElect the option to edit before sending a response and remove the offending items.

Richeee - good question (it's one I'm looking for an answer to as well)

My problem is that I have my assistant book appointments for me. Her
Outlook is set to NOT generate reminders. When appointments are sent to my
e-mail, they go into my calendar WITH a 15 minute reminder. My Outlook is
configured with no reminders as the default.

Since I sync my Outlook calendar with my smarthphone, these reminders
propagate to the phone. So, I have the wonderful experience of a reminder
going off at 11:45PM for an all day event.

This is a case where both sending and receiving Outlooks are set to no
reminder and yet Outlook assigns one. Clearly a BUG.

Milly, with all due respect, your answer is both useless and obvious.

Frankly, when I set NO REMINDERS on my Outlook, that should shield me from
reminders from any source other than those set manually by me. Letting other
people set reminders on my calendar makes no sense (and who knows, may even
be a security risk if the reminder can be set to autorun a script).

I agree, Jiri.

Milly, there is no way to "edit" the reminder or busy status when "edit
before sending". This just opens an Outlook email, not the calendar.
Jiri is right: "...Frankly, when I set NO REMINDERS on my Outlook, that

by me. Letting other people set reminders on my calendar makes no sense (and

I would carry this one step further and call this action (or inaction) just
plain rude on Outlooks end!

Unfortunately, this is still happening. No relief in sight!
