Is there a way to invite outlook users to meetings with Ical

Hello all,
I just recently left a firm using MS Exchange with Outlook for Mac 2011 and had been successfully sending meeting requests automatically within my Outlook email. When the recipient accepted, the meeting was added to my calendar.
I am now starting my own business and am left without an exchange. I am on Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Is there a solution to do this with Mac Mail and Ical?
Could I buy/create my own exchange?
How are business people using Mac to efficiently communicate and successfully add appointments and share call-in information with others?
Also, is there a way to move emails from Outlook 2011 folders to Mac Mail folders? I have tried the drag and drop process, dragging the Outlook folder to my desk top to create an mbox file, however, for some reason only about 30% of the folder's email are captured....
Thanks,
S

Csound,
Thank you for the reply. I have read other older posts you have replied to on this topic and I was hoping that there was going to be an update. It seems this is a popular subject and one Apple and MS are not willing to play nice in the Sandbox on.
If I purchase Office 365 and pay for monthly webhosting, email, etc. will my Ical friendly collegues be able to accept meeting invites? This means I would more or less be operating as I did while at the PC friendly company..correct?
Also, would this allow me to then use the 365 email account on my Iphone (all devices would sync) as I was while on my company exchange?
Thanks again for the help,
S
I should add, that I have much prefered using Outlook 2011 rather than the Mac Mail client as well.

  • Is There A Way for Windows Outlook to SEE & RESPONSE to iCal/Mail's Invites

    Hello all. I apologised first for sending out a similar topic again so soon.
    I "was" using Mail and iCal in the office and the 'rest' of my 90% colleagues are on PCs with Windows Outlook.
    When I create a new event in iCal and send an invite either by adding attendees and click send at the bottom of the Info Drawer, OR highlight the event and right click 'Mail Event'
    Needless to say, my PC friends all they receive is the email with the text info, they cannot reply, accept or reject the invite, 'cause there's nothing to it, even the ".ics" attachment is a blank attachment, they got nothing to a "link" mentioned in the email to click to, they also cannot add the event to their calendar.
    Sad to say, in short, the invite is quite pointless and useless to them.
    I like iCal and Mail very much and would like to continue using them; I use Mail at home because I have lesser invites to do and also, more Junk to filter.
    Until there is a possible solution, I may have "no choice" but to switch to Entourage, which seems to have no problem sending invites. (They can also read incoming invites both from Mail and Outlook perfectly)
    Thanks and cheers

    I've read this article regarding problems of Japanese users and decided to post it here instead of making n+1st separate topic:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301986
    I have a similar problem, but with Russian characters. When I add attendees to my event in iCal and send them invitations, some of them (MS Windows/Outlook 2003 users) see garbage in the e-mail they recieve. The Sender field contains garbage where my name should be, and then goes the e-mail address of mine which looks normal.
    It happens because the message sent with Mac OS X Mail is being encoded in Unicode while MS Outlook expects cp1251 (Windows) encoding, so my name taken from 'My card' entry in Mac Address Book is shown wrong.
    How do I change default encoding to cp1251? I tried doing (according to the instructions in the articel for Japanese users):
    # defaults read com.apple.mail
    but it said there is no such domain, and listing of domains gives:
    # defaults domains
    blued, com.apple.Bluetooth, com.apple.HIToolbox, com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse, com.apple.symbolichotkeys
    OK, I just temporarily changed my name by retyping it in transliteration, so that there are no Russian characters.
    The message received by MS Outlook looks fine then, but the answers sent back to me aren't processed by iCal properly! It shows that a reply is received but doesn't updates the status - agreed, declined, tentative.
    What do I do with that? Are there any additional actions my colleagues can take? Any additional software? Anything?!

  • Is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle db

    Can Any one tell me, is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle database.

    Hello Nunhum,
    I guess this was not my question.. This is not what I m asking.. I know there is not a single sql statement in oracle ,which could create multiusers alike UNIX/LINUX(OS LEVEL), Whatever you have written..is simple creating them one by one.
    What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

  • Is there a way to force a user to view all of Accordion Widget?

    Is there a way to force a user to read, or at least view,
    all sections of the Accordion Widget? We want to make sure the learner reads
    all of the material before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to do
    this? I have searched all over, but I have been unable to find.

    No way. This is a static learning interaction, no event that could be used eventually. Personally I prefer offering reading material that is engaging over looking for a way to push the learner to look (reading doesn't mean he understands or grabs it) at all the stuff. But that is my teacher's past, if student doesn't read your stuff, something is wrong with the stuff, not with the student.
    If you have to force, you'll have to find another way than the accordion interaction .

  • Is there a way for a form user to load graphics and text in same field?

    I am aware that you can load text into a text field and graphics into an image field.  However, I would like to load a document containing text and graphics (e.g., MS Word or RTF) into a single field on a PDF form.  Is there any way to do this?

    Paul,
    I believe that the example of attaching a file that you have provided will solve the problem.  I am using LiveCycle Designer, so using the code that is in your example should be no problem.  The end-user will use Adobe Reader, so as you mentioned, I will use Acrobat to extend the features so that the form can be used by Reader.
    Thanks so much for your help,
    Daniel

    It is part of the PDF AcroForm side of things .....Are you using Reader or Acrobat to fill the form. If Reader then you will have to Reader Extend to make this work ....if Acrobat then you simply need to add some code. I have attached a sample that shows you how to do it if you want it.

  • Is there a way to get a user login record after sleep?

    I know that by opening terminal and typing in "last" (without the quote marks) that it will give me about a 3 week record of who has logged on my computer after shutdowns and restarts.
    What I want to know is this:
    a) Is there a way to get a user login record after the computer only goes to sleep?
    b) is there a way to get the terminal to go back further than just 3 weeks or so for the shutdown/restart records?
    Is there software that might do this???
    Thanks in advance, this is important for me.

    Thanks, Dave: so this is what I type in the terminal? "ls -l /var/log/wtmp*" (without the quotes). And how do you unzip something that has been "gzipped"?
    "man gzip" will give you the details for using gzip
    My first question can be explained this way: To get into the computer when it is coming out of sleep you need to type in a password, then it opens to the desktop. Is there a way I can find out the times over the course of a day/week/month that this is being done? i.e., is there a log being made somewhere of when the computer is being opened and signed onto after being asleep?
    When you wake the computer from a sleep, you are not logging in again so there will be
    no record of the event as a "login"
    My computer possibly could be used by a few other people that have access to my computer password (don't ask why) and I basically want to know if they are signing on when I am away from my desk.
    You may want to look at /var/log/asl.log or /var/log/secure.log which contain details of
    authentication attempts (which is what you are doing) and failures.
    I am not asking why you have multiple people accessing your computer with your password --
    but consider setting up separate username, it is a lot easier to manage and you will probably
    not be asking questions like this one.

    Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars?  I am not running exchange server.

    hello,
    BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
    you have several ways, from best to less good :
    1)
    if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
    2)
    if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
    3)
    if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
    4)
    use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.

  • Is there a way to notify/alert users about records from PSA

    Hi All,
    During transaction data load in BW 3.5 I am using the option" No update of transaction data if Master data does not exist" in the Infopackage.

  • Is there a way to create three different physical calendars in ical so that I can get a fiscal view of the calendars?

    Is there a way to create three physically different calendars in iCal so that I can view the calendar and events from a fical point of view?

    iCal just shows the calendars you have created in your account(s).  So if you are using iCloud just log into your iCloud account in a web browser and make as many new calendars as you wish to have.  Then enable those in iCal.
    If you use Google accounts or something else for the calendars, then create them as needed, and enable them in iCal.
    I have several separate calendars all displayed in iCal - a couple linked through my Gmail accounts, and one through my iCloud account.  Each uses a different default item color so they are distinct in iCal.
