Nokia E7 Calendar - Meeting request - define meeti...

Dear All,
I'd like to buy a Nokia E7 mobile phone, but I don't have enough information about calendar meeting request capability. I didn't find detailed information in the user guide. There is feature in the specification: meeting request support. Can I define meeting attendees directly from the meeting request creation screen or only with an email attachement?
Cuold you help me?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
jeneiz

Calendar management in Nokia E7 is a pathetic.. You can't select the receipent when creating an invite and you can't see the meeting attendee list of an existing calendar entry in your phone..
Overall, I liked the phone, but this particular function has spoiled my impression about it.

Symbian S^3/Anna Calendar Meeting Request (Invitee...

First... I want to explain how this came about. I've never sent out a Meeting Invite from my Nokia N8 (PR1.2) to anyone before. However, in the days of collaboration, people send & receive Calendar Appointments to and from different Email/PIM Clients.
Since Symbian Anna announced that it will have "e-mail invitations with full meeting request support"... I ran a test with a buddy of mine that had Symbian Anna.
This is also because iPhone users can 'send invitations' during Calendar Event creation and this meeting request magically appears in my Google Calendar.
Why are't Nokia generated meeting requests appearing in e-mail and Google Calendar???
Observations:
a) When I send out a Meeting Request (via E-mail or SMS), my Nokia N8 PR 1.2 (Pre-Anna) - sends the attachment as Calendar.vcs, which has a totally different format from the meeting.ics that is read by e-mail clients. Is the meeting.ics a change in Symbian Anna? I am assuming that Calendar.vcs is an internal Nokia to Nokia format. This does not work in this day and age of people using many different brands of OS's.
**Side Note: I am in Canada. When is my Anna Update for my Vanilla Nokia USA N8 going to be available???
b) When I receive this Calendar.vcs as an attachment in e-mail, it is not translated as a Calendar Invitation item at all in my Gmail or my PC E-mail Client. Why?
Calendar.vcs is sent out as "Application/Octet-Stream" in Base64 Encoding by the Symbian Email Client or the Nokia Email Servers??? Why???
What does Application/Octet-Stream tell the receiving email client? This is an application attachment. Treat it as such.
c) When I asked my friend who has a Nokia N8 (PR 2.0) Symbian Anna to send me a meeting request, I get an email that has an attachment "meeting.ics" -- let's call this Specimen A -- when it arrived in my Google Inbox, it is not seen nor translated as a Calendar Item.
By this time, I got confused...
So I sent an Appointment/Calendar Request from my Novell Groupwise and sent it to my Google. I also receive a "meeting.ics" -- let's call this Specimen B. However, Google was able to immediately translate that this meeting.ics is a Calendar Item and neatly displays it as such, asking me to say YES, NO, MAYBE to the Calendar item. It even magically inserts into my Google Calendar.
So I was even MORE confused!!!
Here is what I have gathered from reading the Message Sources.
Nokia meeting.ics (Specimen A)
- attachment meeting.ics is sent out as MIME TYPE Application/MSPowerpoint (this tells the receiving client that this is a powerpoint application and is not translated as a Calendar Item)
- attachment meeting.ics is sent out encoded in Base64
- meeting.ics files is missing PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION in each Attendee (tells the PIM Calendar that this Calendar Request needs to be acted upon with an Accept/Deny)
Novell Groupwise meeting.ics (Specimen B)
- attachment meeting.ics is sent out as MIME TYPE Text/Calendar
- attachment meeting.ics is encoded in 8-Bit
- meeting.ics file has PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION for Attendees.
So what is the difference? Why is the meeting.ics (Specimen B) from Groupwise readable by Google Mail/Calendar while meeting.ics (Specimen A) from Nokia Symbian Email Client not readable at all?
So I did a small test.
I edited Specimen A meeting.ics from Nokia Email Client and added to th PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION Attendees.
I sent these in 2 Test Emails to my Google Mail.
Test 1: Original meeting.ics from Nokia Email without PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION
Test 2: Altered meeting.ics from Nokia Email WITH PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION
I send these "meeting.ics" tests via my Groupwise Client as an attachment file.
When I received both in my Google Mail, Google is able to properly render this as a Calendar Item and display it as such, asking me to say YES, NO, MAYBE to both instances of the Test Emails.
So, maybe PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION has nothing to do with this then...
I forwarded the test messages back to myself to see what MIME-TYPE Groupwise sent this as this time.
It sent it as TEXT/PLAIN and encoded in Base64. So now, we know Base64 Encoding & 8Bit Encoding is not the culprit.
So I ponder more. WHY WOULD NOKIA EMAIL CLIENT SEND OUT meeting.ics as APPLICATION/MSPOWERPOINT???? *.ics file extension is not even related to anything Powerpoint.
So if meeting.ics is sent out by the sending email client as text/calendar or text/plain, the receiving email client is able to properly translate this and render this as a Calendar Item (Request).
However, because Nokia Email Client send this out as "Application/MSPowerpoint", the receiving email client will think this is an e-mail attachment for PowerPoint and will not display the Calendar Item properly.
MIME-TYPES. Something so basic, something that would cause a HUGE ERROR.
Is this a BUG? I THINK IT IS... PLEASE FIX THIS ERROR. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
So... THIS IS A FAIL. Nokia!
Collaboration is also part of "Connecting People". If Person X using Outlook, Person B using Crackberry, Person C using iPhone, Person D using Android, Person E using a Nokia Symbian cannot collaborate and send/receive/accept/deny Calendar Items they send each other... isn't there a HUGE DISCONNECT?
I am hoping, actually, I am praying really hard to the many gods and dieties that this will be forwarded immediately to the Nokia Email Client Team to be looked at and an Update Immediately made available.
Thanks.

Hi Joe,
1.      Whether the sender and recipient users are on the same AD site?
2.      If the user uses OWA to access the Meeting Request message, whether is it still displayed as a normal email instead of a meeting request?
I would like to explain that a meeting request should have MAPI property “PR_MESSAGE_CLASS” which value is IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request. A normal message will have the MAPI property “PR_MESSAGE_CLASS” which value is IPM.Note.
The issue may occur:
1.      Some third-party software such as spam filter software and disclaimer software change the mail format
2.      Some Add-ins on the Outlook change the mail format
To troubleshoot the possible cause 1, I suggest that you enable Pipeline Tracing:
Using Pipeline Tracing to Diagnose Transport Agent Problems
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125198(EXCHG.80).aspx
Note: Because Pipeline tracing could place a large amount of strain on a system, I suggest that you disable it after gathering the information.
To troubleshoot the possible cause 2, I suggest that you disable the Add-ins temporarily:
Disable third-party add-ins of Outlook
==================================
1.      Backup and then remove the following two registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
2.      Restart the Outlook by using “Outlook /Safe”

Calendar meeting invites contain no information since update to 10.3.1.1565

Hi All
If I receive a calendar meeting invite from Exchange users with Outlook 2010 to my Q10 device, and I open it, there are 3 tabs along the top of the screen, Details, People and Emails, but the rest of the screen has no information its just white, so I cannot see what time the meeting is or where it is etc.
Any ideas, suggestions, assistance greatly appreciated (urgently! 18 users involved)
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After more troubleshooting with the user he reported the top of the calendar day view had the error "Some accounts failed to respond", he also had Hotmail account running and an AOL email account which he had not finished configuring. I suggested he delete the non corporate accounts and see what happens.
He reported that after deleting just the AOL account and restarting the Q10 the calendar and meeting invites were all ok!!

Nokia 5310 Alarm Feature Request/Improvement

Hi,
I started using the Alarm with my Nokia recently. As alarm tone i selected a song. Unfortunatly the alarm switches itself off after 1 min? Can this be changed. It quite annoying if you sleep deep and cant hear the alarm or want to keep listening to the song while waking up.
It would be nice to have the alarm keep running. Or even make it play a playlist.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Not doable, the phone will just repeat the alert tone when snoozed.

Calendar Meeting Request Accepted Email bug

I have come across a possible bug with the BlackBerry Calendar feature. When I invited an attendee who has a BlackBerry Curve 8520 to a meeting with a reminder time of '0 min' with my BlackBerry Bold 9780 whilst holding both phones in my hand and accepting the meeting request on the Curve, the email that was sent back to my Bold indicated a reminder time of 'None'.
When I checked the reminder time on the Curve after this, it was set to '0 min.
Is this how meeting request approvals are supposed to be sent, indicating a reminder time of 'None' when the reminder time is set as '0 min'?

Calendar management in Nokia E7 is a pathetic.. You can't select the receipent when creating an invite and you can't see the meeting attendee list of an existing calendar entry in your phone..

Block incoming calendar / meeting requests to a specific mailbox / user using transport rules or an Outlook rule?

I have a weird request I have never thought I would get. I have a VIP user that wants to receive no calendar invites / meeting invites from:
- anyone outside of our organization (ie: from the internet)
- only certain users from INSIDE our organization
Can I accomplish this either though a transport rule and/or an Outlook rule? I am on Exchange 2007 currently, and Outlook 2007 currently. Soon to have both on 2013 versions, migrating soon, but if possible, I need to implement this in our current environment.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Based on your description, I understand that the VIP user don't want to receive meeting requests from anyone outside of your organization and certain users from inside your organization. If so, we can't create transport rule in exchange 2007.
I recommend you upgrade your exchange server 2007 to exchange 2013. If you use exchange 2013, you can create this transport rule like : under condition, the sender is this person (distribution
group, you can add certain users from inside your organization to a distribution group) ; the recipient is this person (the VIP user);
the message properties include the message type(Calendaring); under actions, block the message reject the message and include an explanation/ reject the message with the enhanced status code of /delete the message without notifying anyone.
You need to create the second transport rule: you only need to change the first condition: the sender is located outside the organization, and other conditions and actions are the same as the first transport rule.

I have a users, lets call her Blondie.
Blondie has shared her calendar with Swimmer, Naggy and Bashful, whenever someone sends a meeting request to Blondie, Swimmer, Naggy and Bashful get the meeting request as well.
How can I disable this so Naggy and Bashful stop crying about it?

Hi,
Please check if Naggy and Bashful are set as delegates for Blondie and Swimmer in Outlook. We can check the following settings in Outlook:
Click File > Account Settings > Delegate Access. If there is anyone listed there, we can remove it.

Recurring calendar meeting issue

A few users are having the same issue with recurring calendar meetings. When opening the message outlook will display "This meeting request was updated after this message was sent. You should open a later update or open the item on the calendar."
These meetings have not been updated or changed. Additionally they are not able to accept the meeting. Any ideas?

Hi,
I notice there are just a few users have this issue, I suggest double check whether this issue relates to Outlook client, first.
Does this issue occur in Outlook or OWA? Please using OWA to verify whether this issue exist.
If everything is OK in OWA, it seems an issue relates to Outlook client side.
I suggest running Outlook under the safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins for testing.
I suggest re-creating a profile to refresh the caches for testing.
If this issue also occur in OWA, let's narrow down this issue on the Exchange server side.
1. Did you give additional people a delegate permission? Maybe the user how has delegate permisson update the meeting.
2. Please run following command to set the calendar update automatically:
Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "mailbox" -AutomateProcessing AutoUpdate
More details in the following article:

Win 8.1 modern calendar - all notes in a calendar meeting are truncated/removed after opening/viewing (Exchange 2010 and EAS)

All,
If this isn't the best forum to post in, please let me know.
I am having an issue when I accept calendar invites in the native/modern application for calendaring in Win 8.1. Whenever I then go back to open and view the contents of a meeting, all the notes are truncated and removed after closing that event.
We are running exchange 2010 for the email server.
The machine is not domain joined/managed (local account only).
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Team,
Looking for some expert advice here - any assistance would be appreciated.

Calendar Meeting Invite from Outlook 2010 to iCal

Hello,
I am very VERY new to Macs and to be honest Calendar invites in general (Came from a Lotus Domino environment). I have come across an oddity that I am almost sure is related to the content of the .ICS file generated by Outlook and then sent to a mail user who uses an Apple Max OS X 10.7.3. (our Managing Director). It has resulted in me (IT for the company) buying an Apple Mac to try and troubleshoot. Sorrry for the Blurb
Working Scenario is
1. Use a Google email account and the Web interface to send a meeting invite to another Google homed account and that person uses a Mac as described.
2. Invite arrives and is automatically available in iCal with a tentative meeting (grey) event PLUS the notification panel in iCal showing an alert.
3. The notification Panel alert can then be used to Accept/decline the invite.
For the MD this is how he wants to work. As he gets numerous invites he can quickly scan down the notification alerts and access/decline as he goes. Rather than opening all of the email messages.
Failing Scenario is
1. Use an Outlook 2010 client to send the exact same invite to the same person at the same time (etc.)
2. Invite arrives in the Mac mail Box. BUT DOES NOT trigger iCal's notification panel
3. The Mac User needs to click on the attached .ICS file and if iCal is also visible you can see the notification alert appear
I have TextEdited both .ICS files and yes they are different. The general VCALENDAR elements are roughly the same but there differences with bits and pieces that a too numerous to mention. There is also all of the garbage with X- elements which I would think iCal will ignore anyway. I have tried hacking the failing .ICS when it arrives but that doesn't mimic the same type of flow and in the end I can't modify the .ICS files either as they are sent or arrive.
Yes, I have told the Outlook client to send using the iCalendar format for external recipients.
I was wondering if anyone had come across the same type of requirement or the same type of issue?
thanks in advance
Bruce.

I had the identical problem. I still don't know how to sync the tasks, but here's how I did the contacts and calendar:
1. Connect the 4s to the computer.
2. Open iTunes.
3. Click the iPhone box in the upper right corner.
4. Click on the info tab.
5. Hit the checkbox Sync Contacts with... and choose Outlook from the dropdown box.
6. Ditto for Calendars.
7. Hit Apply.
My problem was that originally, I wasn't getting the checkboxes. I turned off the iCloud settings on the 4s. That did the trick.

Any way to invite people to a calendar meeting?

You can certainly accept an invitation from others in the calendar.
Has anyone found a way to invite "contacts" to a meeting that you create in the calendar?

Creating meetings and setting availability are not supported at this time, sorry. But with the rate developers are writing new apps for the iPhone, maybe one of them will beat Apple to the punch!

E7-00 Calendar meeting participants and MS Actives...

I have had E52 and E90. I just upgraded the E90 to E7-00. I found out hard time that the calendar functionality in the E7 is not having all necessary features. My E52 has following essential functionality:
It shows if the meeting is accepted or proposed
It shows who is a meeting sender
It shows who are the participants. Also the meeting room and other resources...
you can mark meetings private or public
These features are really essential for all MS Exchange business users. If the corporate culture is to book _everything_ in the calendar, then mobile life is very hard if your calendar does not support this. This was a biggest missing feature in E90 and naturally I expected to have it working in E7.
Is there a plan to get this functionality to E7 in future firmware releases?
(One additional feature I would like is the attachements. I would like to be able to open attachments that are embedded in the calendar details.)

AFAIK , with the Microsoft tie in , future upgrades on the E7 should include many 'enterprise' updates , but you would need to contact Nokiato confirm this , as this is a user to user forum , I would suggest the 'contact us' feature on the Nokiaweb site
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
you can also help others by marking 'accept as solution'

E90 - calendar meeting attendants

Hello, when I synchronize the outlook calendar to my E90, I do not see the meeting attendants. This is quite annoying, my previous organizer (palm) did show them.
Is this really completely missing in the calendar application? If yes, is there alternative calendar software that does have and synchronize meeting attendants?

Calendar, Meeting invitations -

I am using latest software version. I want to meeting invite to other contacts but the "invitees" option does not appear. Does anyone have a solution?

Same thing here. Running Exchange 2007 with current service packs. iPhones are all new 2009 3GS 16 GB models with iPhone OS 3.0.1.
Sometimes when the iPhone user accepts, the aceptance show up correctly on other user's calendars (i.e.; Outlook 2003 and Entourage 2008), but most of the time they appear as "tentative".
Removing an envent on the iPhone can only be done by pushing the "Decline" button, but this wont remove the even from the user's calendars in Outlook or Entourage.

4S Calendar/Meeting Glitch?

How can you add an invitee to a meeting notice that has already been created and currently does not have any invitees? I know you can add invitees when creating the meeting notice and I know you can edit invitees to a meeting that already has invitees included. I don't see where I can invite people when I go to edit the meeting notice.

No. For instance, I created an appt/meeting in my calendar last week that did not include invitees. I now want to add an invitee. When I go into my appt to edit it, my calendar does not allow me to add invitees. It simply isn't an option.
