Hi,

I had a few questions about outlook calendar. I first want to give you
a brief over view of my mailbox. I receive a lot of emails with medium
to large attachments. I run out of my assigned space pretty quickly so
we setup a personal folder. It worked for a while but i went on
vacation for about a week and my mailbox was over its limit again. I
needed have all my emails go straight into my PST as i cant raise my
exchange server limit at this time. So we setup my PST (on another
server) to be the default delivery location. It has worked great for
me so far but i am having a few problems.

1) I need to share my calendar (tasks, contacts) with a few people so
it has to stay on the server. This means that i have to work out of my
new PST for all my mail and then scroll down to my exchange mailbox
and view my calendar, tasks, and contacts there. When i click on
calendar in the navigation pane it defaults to the PST calendar. Is
there a way to change this?

2) I am unable to set reminders on my exchange calendar because it is
not my default calendar. I tried to set reminders on my inbox PST
calendar and that worked. Is there a way to have reminders on my
exchange mailbox as that is the one i use.

I'm sure there is a better way to setup my mailbox and if you guys
have any suggestions I'm all ears.

Hi,

1.) "Is there a way to change this?"

You can change the "delivery folder" of Outlook but then you will receive
your e-mails into the PST file and your default folder will be your PST file
not the Exchange mailbox anymore. I do not think that this is your target.

To change only the calendar folder for reminders is not possible.

Solutions:
You could synchronize the calendar of the PST file with your Exchange
Mailbox calendar, then you will get your reminders from the Exchange
calendar:

2.) To get reminders from Public Folders or additional PST files you can use
3rd party utilities.

A german tool (Public Reminder Add-In) is also available on this site
(english version coming soon)

Maybe it helps.

Make your Exchange mailbox the delivery location. Your default calendar
will always be the calendar in the delivery location folder set.

Make your mailbox the delivery location.

Why not have only your mail delivered to the PST, but leave everything else
on the server? I've posted instructions on how multiple times. Here's one
