Mail Meeting Request Sent But Outlook User Can't Accept

Are there any tricks around this? I'm using my companies POP system and I get and can accept Outlook meeting requests just fine. However, when I send a new meeting request, there is only an atm attachment and no way to accept the meeting.
Any ideas, tips or tricks?
Thanks!

I'm a former Palm Treo user for years, syncing with Palm desktop on my PC, and have several thousand appointments with notes on my Palm, as well as over 1000 contacts. I just switched to the i-phone 3GS, moved all my data from the palm over to Outlook 2003, synced after much heartache and difficulty, then moved all this data to the i-phone via i-tunes. As a first time user, the usefulness of the built-in calendar app. is weak, and when you have multiple overlapping appointments, it's very difficult to see these appointments in an easy visual field. In addition, there's no way to search for any content within the appointments other than by the particular day. Nor can you see the year view on the calendar.
Does any former Palm of Blackberry business user have another Calendar application suggestion for the 3GS or 3G that will sync with Outlook 2003, or better yet with Mobile Me? If you move to a different app for calendar, syncing with multiple machines or Mobile me is a problem, from what Apple tech support tells me.
Thanks.

Outlook Users Can't Accept iCal event invites

Microsoft Outlook users can't accept my event invites from iCal.
I already searched through all the possible prefs and settings... at least I think I have.
Can anyone help?
THX!
A.Che

To clarify this issue - (as I am having a similar issue)...
From iCal I can easily accept and respond to meeting requests sent to me from a person using Outlook 2003
The problem is the other way round - My meeting requests from iCal do not seem to be accepted by Outlook. I am generating an email that has a *.ics file extension and it is being sent via mail, but when the recipient (using Outlook 2003) receives the email, it is formatted as plain text and does not have a file attachment.
When that person forwards the message back to me, it DOES have the attachment still attached (which I can open on my own PC).
What is the trick to sending an iCal meeting request to an Outlook user so that they can add it to their calendar (and respond to the request)?? Apparently they receive a plain text email with an attachment that is named "Untitled Attachment" which is then empty (~200 bytes)
Here is a picture of what I am talking about (that they receive in Outlook):

Problem with rescheduled meeting request from a LotusNotes user. How can I get it to process on my iPad/iCloud account?

When I receive an original meeting request from a LotusNotes user, I can select the .ics attachment and it gives me an option to "add to calendar" which will place it on my calendar. However, when I receive a rescheduled meeting notification, I get an email with the .ics attachment but it does nothing when I try to select it from the email. There is no "add to calendar" or anything. How can I get the reschedule information to make the appropriate changes in my iPad/iCloud calendar?
I have tried from my iPad email and from my online iCloud interface and neither seems to work.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

After changing a mail list name in Server end, users can't see the update in outlook client

Dear all,
This is a real issue. I am a Help-desk in a global company and after changing a mail list name in Server end, users can't see the update in outlook client. Even I download Offline address book in full detail, user still can't see the change in her outlook.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Franklin hong

Hi,
Would you please detail what you did by "changing a mail list name in Server end"? What is the mail list and what server?
If you switch to Online Mode instead of Cached Exchange Mode, does the user see the change?

Site loads internally but outside users can't see anything

i did a fresh 10.5.2 server install today. anyone on our campus (univ.edu) network can see the site but outside users can't.
my server is automatically assigned a dns entry from our campus network similar to udp01234.univ.edu
i've enabled the web service and started it.
i have one domain name under the "sites" tab.
under "domain name" i entered "udp01234.univ.edu"
"ip address" is set for "any"
running: sudo changeip -checkhostname
Primary address = 69.23.11.103
Current HostName = udp01234.univ.edu
DNS HostName = udp01234.univ.edu
The names match. There is nothing to change.
[note that the above domain name and ip address aren't the real one's]
this seems to check out. what else could i be missing?
the error and access log aren't showing anything and the firewall is off.
thanks!

our campus firewall is blocking port 80. i changed the site's port to 8080 and it works.
i just assumed that campus allowed port 80.

Can't open meeting requests sent to iPhone from MS Outlook

Mobile Me pushes email from my PC-based MS Outlook 2007 to my iPhone. Emails arrive with no problem, including all attachments...apart from Outlook Calendar meeting requests.
These arrive as an email with an attachment that reads "mime-attachment.ics". I can't do anything with this attachment, i.e. read date, time, place of appointment, or respond to it (accept, reject), or insert it into the calendar on the iPhone.
The only way to access the meeting request is to read it on my PC, respond to it and transfer it to iPhone via a normal synch using the USB.
Any help gratefully received.

I know exactly what problem you're having. It's not a syncing issue. This is a recognized and reported issue. Any Microsoft Outlook Calendar invitation comes into your IPhone as an email with the .ics file attached to update your calender. The IPhone operating system does not recognize nor have any instructions as to what to do with a .ics file. When I discovered this a couple months ago, I researched and found out it has been reported to Apple. Some have speculated that the issue might be addressed in Release 3.0 but I haven't heard.
This is a significant issue for those of us who use the IPhone for business. From a novice's standpoint, it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to put in a few lines of code to recognize and then write the entry to the calendar. But then seems like Apple doesn't seem like it's a priority.
Hope Apple is monitoring this forum. This is my first post.

Office365 User not receiving Meeting Request Email (but shows in Calendar)

Hi,
We have one user (so far) who has successfully migrated from Exchange 2007 to 'Office365' but when you sent them an meeting request they do not get ANY email notification of it. No Spam, rules, junk email are affecting it. There are no delegates on the account.
I have removed the Office365 user license for them and then re-added it but made no difference.
If the user goes into the calendar they can actually 'see' the meeting and accept / decline it in there but we obviously need the user to get some email notification of it so they are aware of a meeting and now get a 'surprise' meeting they knew nothing about!
Other migrated users are able to receive email notifications of meeting requests without issue. There is just no trace of it for this user.

Hi Peter,
As per your description above, I understand that one user cannot receive meeting requests, instead, the meetings are placed on their calendar directly.
I would like to confirm that whether he/she configured the email account into any Outlook clients, or actually we are talking about the web-based Outlook in Office 365 portal?
If this is an issue in the Outlook desktop client, please check if you have ticked the option of
Automatically accept meeting requests and remove canceled meetings
under FILE>Options>Calendar>Auto Accept/Decline... Try untick it and verify again.
If Outlook client is not involved here, I would suggest you post your question in the forum of Office 365 Community - email and calendar, where you can get more experienced responses:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/158.aspx
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
Hope this helps.

HT1692 iOS7 Calendar freezing when attempting to accept/decline/maybe a meeting request from Microsoft Outlook Exchange... (iPhone 5s)

My iOS7 calendar on my iPhone 5s continually freezes when I attempt to accept/decline/maybe (respond in general) to any invitations that come through to the device... The main ones I get (so the ones I am experiencing the issue with) are from Microsoft Outlook Exchange Account (also synced through Mail app).
I have attempted to go via the emails I receive with the invitation and the device freezes when attempting to action the request through the Mail app also.
I'm hard reset the phone, I've removed and re-established the account in the phone, but nothing fixes the issue. It might work for one or two invitations, but it will start freezing again without a pattern...
This is a real pain, because these meeting requests etc are for work meetings and interviews!
Thanks guys!

We are seeing a similuar issue here at work on serveral devices.
Using Lotus Notes for mail and calendar
iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S
Running iOS 7
When an email comes in for a meeting invite if you click on the Date and Time in blue it will walk you through opening the invite in your calendar and then I can Accept/Decline without issue. If you click on the Invitation icon, which seems to be what users intuitively, in the the email then it freezes up the mail app., see image below.

Meeting requests sent with iOS7 don't work correctly

When I create a meeting with invitees in an Exchange calendar on iOS7.0.2 (iPhone4), the receiver get's a mail with a "meeting.ics" file.
When opened, it's not possible to select accept,decline, or maybe, but only select "add to calendar" on their iPhone 5 (still on iOS 6.1.3).
When the same meeting invite is opened in Outlook it even says: "Not supported calendar message.ics".
This worked fine when creating meeting with invites in iOS 6.1.3.
It seems the meeting request format is messed up with iOS7... Anyone else seeing this?
I can't find any setting in iOS7 about meeting invite formats.

Oh, it now also happens with my iPad on iOS 6.1.3. So... this has something to do with my work's Exchange Server or Active-synch...?!

Getting Meeting request from PC Outlook

When Mail was in version 1.3.x, every meeting appointment that was sent from MS Outlook, would come in as an attachment, making it very easy to put in to iCal (Double click on it..).
Since version 2.x of Mail, the same appointment is being received as text massage, and there was a need to type the info from it to iCal.
I couldn't find any setup to change for it, is there anything to do?

thanks for the tip. I have found however that the date and time appear incorreclty in ical as it does not seem to compensate for the time zone correctly. The time zone in the ICS file corresponds with the timezone on my mac, but it still offsets the time from GMT 0.
I tried it with timezone support turned both on and off in ical. Both times the meeting request turns up 8 hours late (as the request was 4pm, it turned up at midnight the next day) . Any ideas?

How to add a link (map) on meeting requests sent outside my organisation - Help!?

Hello,
We've got Exchange 2013 servers, I have a need to add a Google map link of our office location into messages (preferably meeting requests) that is sent to outside our organization. I had been looking around the rules in ECP but can not find anything
familiar in the "Do the following." section.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks a lot to Mr. Albert and Lynn... the feedback is interesting. Few questions though
1) We do already have a disclaimer1 tagged to all outside emails (referring to Our company and its policies - the usual one)
2- If I add a disclaimer2 to add the Googlemaps link like above - what do I have to do to sort the order like i.e - a message sent to outside should look like a)message body, b)the Sender Signature, c) Disclaimer1 : company rules etc textxxxxxxx,
d) Our office location (disclaimer2).
3- I just realize I can edit existing disclaimer 1 and add the map link at the end, now the dream: is there a way to hyperlink it under a text:
My company HO location> the link
Further tips would be awesome

Would this be correct o.O

Webex sessions are joined but remote user can't see my desktop

When invited to customer support sessions for EMC and Symantec, I go to their webex sites. They give me a join
session url. I click on it. The session opens but the remote
user cannot see my desktop. I can see them. I have virtual
box windows xp and opensolaris 2009.06 running on this
system. windows is running 3.6.9 firefox. opensolaris is running
3.1b. On both of those virtual machines, the webex runs fine.
My system is openindiana 148 with firefox 3.6.8

I experienced the same issue - the problem appears to lie with the "content-disposition" field in the message headers. Apple Mail always seems to set this to "inline", regardless of what settings you change ("View as Icon", "Windows-friendly", "Attachments at end" etc.) and, for some reason, Outlook users are unable to save these attached images files.
Finally, I discovered http://lokiware.info/Attachment-Tamer which is an add-on for Apple Mail and which can force the content-disposition field to "attachment" so the receiving Outlook client is able to save the attachments as normal. I have literally just been testing this myself and it seems to have done the trick.
I am in no way affiliated with Lokiware and do not gain in any way from promotion of their product - I'm just a very happy user!

Outlook 2010 cached mode cannot see GAL but Outlook 2007 can via Exchange 2010

Hi,
I have a problem similar to
this but with a different cause.
Our OAB config looks good from both Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010. Both can see the GAL in non-cached mode but in cached mode only 2007 can see the GAL. In 2010 it's just not there. Even the same user can only see it in 2007.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is?
Cheers,
Rob

Hi,
I have got the same issue, that I can't see updated OAB in outlook 2010.
Can you share the detailed path of the locations you have mentioned here:
In Office 2010, this happens but these values also exist in the [Service1] section and are blank:
OfflineAddressBookPath=
OfflineFolderPathAndFilename=
And how do we add locations to these paths?
Thank you in advance.
