Reoccurring Meeting request rescheduled issue
I work on a mixed network with both PC and Macs and have noticed that there is a glitch in iCal when it come to changing a meeting request that is reoccurring. When I send a change to it the people get the email letting them know that I have change the meeting but it will not post on the new day or time, it put it back on the first day the meeting was set up for. Example: Meeting set up for 2 months time every Tuesday at 10am. I have to change the 2nd Tuesday from Tuesday to Thursday at 10am they all get the email cal event notice but when they open it dose not change the event???? Anyone that has a PC gets it but on the Macs it doesn't work ????
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thank you in advance,

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.

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.
-
This is frustrating and seems to be a known issue. Regular calendar items work fine but any meeting invitations sent to and accepted on PC running Outlook 2010 with iCloud add in only show up on default (local) calendar. Must add them manually. Also meeting requests sent from same PC configuration are being hijacked by iCal/iCloud feature and prompt the receiver to accept through iCloud interface rather than a regular Outlook email invite, though those meeting do show up on end user's Outlook calendar. And meeting requests sent to a group gives an STMP error. Is there an update or newer version that fixes any of these issues? I turned off MobileMe add in but doesn't help. We use iCloud and like it because we need the calendar and contact features to sync between the PC and iPhone and iPad, which works fine.
Outlook will not allow a subscribed calendar to be the default, unless it is an Exchange calendar. You can't change this behaviour unfortunately.

Not able to create meeting request in outlook using desktop connection
Hi All,
We installed the desktop connect professional edition and integrated MS outlook and CRM business activity.
Our goal is to trigger an outlook meeting request (not an outlook appointment).
We tried to configure this by creating a CRM business activity and syncing with outlook but does not seem to work.
We are able to create an outlook appointment but not a meeting request.
What we envision is the business activity needs to trigger a accept/reject/ reschedule meeting request functionality. Only when the user accepts the meeting request it should sync the outlook calendar / SAP calendar.
Is this functionality available out-of-box or does it need enhancements to the interface ?

S.BalajiHi All,

How do I see meeting requests but not responses to meetings arranged by my delegates?
Hello
I am surprised that I can't see this precise question as it is stopping the whole executive of my company from using outlook delegation in Exchange 2010 and in fact they use email between PAs rather than calendar requests to manage all meetings. This
is because the exec don't want to see any responses to meetings arranged by delegates.
1. I want to see meeting invites that are sent to me so I can decide whether to attend or not.
2, My delegates set up many meetings on my behalf and I don't want to see any responses to those meetings - my delegate deals with those, not me.
Can this be achieved?
I know I can avoid seeing any meeting requests and responses, but that is not what I want! I want not to see responses to meetings arranged by my delegates on my behalf.
This is a real obstacle to adopting calendars in my organisation
thanks!Thank you for the suggestion. We do have several other email systems in use but on the whole, as CIO (and, by the way, female) I've moved tens of thousands of users to 365 and try to move people there in general. However, it seems silly or inept of MS not
to provide this simple functionality. I have seen this be an issue in more than one organisation.
The only solution seems to be for the PAs to work harder or for the Execs to do as I do (i.e. move lots of pointless meeting invites into a junk folder - because of the poor interface with iOS it is risky to delete an MS meeting response as it may vanish
from your phone). You would think it worth MS considering how people actually want to delegate. -
Track response of .ICS file(Meeting request) in SAP R/3
Dear Experts,
I am able to send the meeting request to MS-Outlook using the following thread.
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b035a861-5f61-2c10-d086-c4dd779dd253]
When the user opens the .ICS file and accepts the meeting request in MS-Outlook, the MS-Outlook calender gets booked.
Now the requirement is, Once User accepts the meeting request an event should be trigerred in SAP R/3 so as to track the User response. Is there any BADI/API s available which can be used to achieve this?
Regards,
Vaishali.Hi,
Triggering the event is the easy part. That will be just pure ABAP development.
Your problem is that how can you call your function/method (or whatever) from the Outlook (or from Exchange server). So, you should really try to investigate the possible modification or enhancement possibilities of the Echange server - and this is not really an SDN issue at all (of course if you are lucky, someone could notice this thread and help). If you find a way to add some kind of "modification" to the Exchange server (for example you could find a way to call a web service always when the meeting request is accepted), then you can easily build the necessary web service around your ABAP function.
Another approach could be that you try to utilize the possible Exchange server web service API. For example it seems that there is some kind of availibility service available, which you could use to find out the user's availibility (I am not sure though that is it possible to see whether the user has accepted the meeting request or not). Anyhow, if you find out a way for this, you could call the web service from your ABAP system to find out the corresponding information from Exchange server.
Good luck.

Exchange 2010 SP2 Server
iPhone iOS 5.01 (4/4s) using ActiveSync
Outlook 2007 clients
When multi-day (not 'all day') meeting requests or appointments are being sent to email accounts which have an iPhone attached to the Exchange account via ActiveSync, the iPhone accepts the meeting request but then moves the event one day later than what it was originally scheduled and posts it to Outlook - also 1 day later than it is supposed to be.
For example: A meeting request comes into my that is schedule for 9AM-4PM M-W but when I accept it on my iphone it gets posted to my calendar as an ALL DAY event but T-Thu
We upgraded to Exchange SP2 because some of the threads were alluding that SP2 would fix it - it didn't. I know the fix is to rip out the event to separate calendar events but this will not work for reqeusts coming from outside. And this is too tedious. If anything, it is a serious bug.
Anybody seen this before?
Thanks,
Monty.I am experiencing a similar problem with a client of mine who is using Microsoft's Cloud-based Exchange server, Office 365. I suspect the Office 365 server is an Exchange 2010 server, similar to your environment. Check out my tests below which I think define when the day shifting happens.
I see that you applied SP2 to your Exchange 2010 environment, but have you also applied Update Rollup 1? See this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324. It would be interesting to know whether that rollup resolves your problem.
I have done some pretty extensive testing and have posted in the Office 365 Support Forum (http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/146/p/53396/192332.aspx#192332) Here is a summary of my testing.
I am having the exact same problem described by Jim Edmonds and jkwmail (http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/176/p/19921/93304.aspx#93304) with one of my clients who is not very happy about this or our inability to resolve the problem. Here is what I am experiencing:
When an appointment in Office 365 spans multiple days, the appointment gets converted to an All Day Event and moved forward one day on an iPhone ActiveSync client.
I have completed the following troubleshooting:
1 - Using my GMail Account and my work email account on MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server I created separate single day appointments in the morning from each account spanning two hours and invited my client who is using MS Outlook 2010 and Office 365.
Result: The appointments show the correct date and time on my Outlook, MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 OWA, and iPhone as well as my client's Outlook, Office 365 webmail, and iPhone.
2 - Using my GMail Account and my work email account on MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server I created separate single day appointments in the afternoon from each account spanning two hours and invited my client who is using MS Outlook 2010 and Office 365.
Result: The appointments show the correct date and time on my Outlook, MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 OWA, and iPhone as well as my client's Outlook, Office 365 webmail, and iPhone.
3 - Using my GMail Account and my work email account on MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server I created separate multi-day appointments from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 AM from each account and invited my client who is using MS Outlook 2010 and Office 365.
Result: The appointments show the correct date and time on my Outlook, MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 OWA, and iPhone as well as my client's Outlook and Office 365 webmail. However, on my client's iPhone, the time on the appointments had changed to an all day event and the start date was shifted one day forward, Saturday, and the end date was Monday unless the appointment end time was after the appointment start time in which case it created an All Day Event on Tuesday as well. For Example: If the appointment was from 8 AM Friday Morning to 8 AM Monday Morning, the iPhone would show an All Day Event on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. If the appointment was from 8 AM Friday Morning to 8:30 AM Monday Morning, the iPhone would show an All Day Event on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. If the appointment was from 8 AM Friday Morning to 7:30 AM Monday Morning, the iPhone would show an All Day Event on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. This was also true for appointments starting on Friday at 5 PM and ending on Monday at 5 PM, starting on Friday at 5 PM and ending on Monday at 5:30 PM, and starting on Friday at 5 PM and ending on Monday at 4:30 PM as in the above AM examples.
*** Again I would like to note that on my iPhone which is connected to my company's MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 server, the multi-day appointment shows up correctly with correct start and end times and is not converted to an All Day Event. ***
It would seem this is a problem with ActiveSync on Office 365 and iOS devices. What is particularly frustrating is that this exact problem is identified in KB 2563324 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324) Issue 1.6 - "An appointment is longer than 24 hours is changed to a multi-day All Day Event" which states: "To resolve this issue, install Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2)." Since this is a cloud based service, we do not have the ability to either see what the current version of the Exchange service we are connected to is or update the service with this patch level.
4 - I performed the above three tests with my client creating the events in MS Outlook 2010 and inviting my work account on the MS Exchange 2007 SP 2 Server and got the exact same results.
5 - My client's iPhone is running iOS 4.3 and my iPhone is running iOS 5.1.0. In order to test this without going through the update process on my client's iPhone, I set up his Office 365 account on my iPhone and performed the tests in numbers 1-4 from above, viewing the results on my iPhone, and got the exact same results.
6 - Today, I tried this with a different Office 365 account, performed the multi-day test in number 3 from above and got the exact same results.
7 - Today I also upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.1.1, performed the multi-day test in number 3 from above and got the exact same results.
8 - I have confirmed that all time zones are set correctly. I have checked the iPhone, OWA, Office 365 Webmail, etc.
I believe the problem in my case is with the Office 365 environment and not the iOS device. However, trying to get support from these large companies seems to be very difficult?
Does anyone from Apple know if this is an iOS bug or a problem with Exchange 2010/Office 365?
Thanks...

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.

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”

Why i can't see table, image, attacth files in meeting request mail.
Hi, I'm Narongdech
i have a little question in outlook 2013. Why i can't see table, image, attacth files in meeting request mail. i try make a new meeting request for my partner. but them can't see new mail in the correct format.
below,This is a image in my outlook 2007. i try to make this format. Please Help me, and let me know that.
Thank you.Hi Narongdech,
What’s your Exchange server version? I have tested to send a meeting request to my colleague with a table, a PNG picture and a word attachment in my Outlook 2013 with Exchange 2010 environment. And it can be viewed well.
Please check whether the issue happens to all Outlook 2013 users or some specific ones. We can close Outlook and send a meeting request with pictures and attachments in OWA to have a test. If the OWA test returns everything is OK, the issue may be related
to Outlook client. Please run Outlook in safe mode and disable all related mail software to check whether the issue persists.
Thanks,

Ical meeting requests and outlook
Hi All,
I need your help. we have a mixed network of PC (XPP) and 30 newly deployed Mac's (OSX10.5).
iCal to iCal meeting requests are fine.
iCal to Entourage meeting requests are fine
iCal to Outlook meeting requests don't work.
As we are wanting to move Mac users away fro Entourage we are motivated to resolve this issue.
when an iCal meeting request is sent to an Outlook recipient, they receieve an email with 2 empty attachments, and a note that states that to accept this meeting, they must click on the link below; although, there is NO link for the user to click on.
Outlook and Entourage are working thru Exchange Server 2003. iCal is (presently) working off local installs. iCal Server is due for operation in a few weeks.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

[email protected]There are several discussions regarding this same topic on the Apple forums and elsewhere. None of them have solved the problem. This seems to be an issue that has been around for a long time but never addressed by Apple or Microsoft. From some simple tests that I have done, it appears the the Microsoft Exchange Server is not interpreting the iCal event (.ics extension) properly. I have seen discussions saying that Apple is not formatting the event properly or is using a newer standard that MS Exchange does not support. I believe it is the later as I can make the event work properly without any software changes but I have to do some steps manually. Here is how I can make it work and why I believe something is wrong in MS Exchange:
- create event in iCal and add an Outlook user
- send the event/email (ignore this email on the PC as it does not work)
- open the just sent email and save the attached iCal event
- find the saved iCal event and add a letter to the extension such as ".icss"
- (Note: I don't know if there is a way to rename an attachment already in a message)
- attach this renamed event to a new message and send it to the Outlook user
- the Outlook user must open the message, save the attachment and rename it back to ".ics"
- double clicking / opening this renamed file now works perfectly in Outlook
Now, if I could only automate some of these steps on the Mac before I send the message would be very helpful. This is not a great solution but I use it for events that I want to sync between my home Mac and my office PC.
Because the renamed attachment (.icss) works through Exchange (by ignoring it), I am lead to believe that MS Exchange will interpret an ".ics" extension and mess up the handling of it for some reason. Microsoft is never one to follow standards very carefully or adopt them very quickly. Our company is using Exchange 2003 so maybe that is part of the problem as it is an older version. -
Cannot view the detailed Email date and time about the meeting request
Hi,I am unable to view the detailed message and Date and time of a meeting request in the default Email app in my Sony Xperia P mobile. Even when i select the calender it does not defaultly go to the meeting date. I need to manually select the date to see the meeting. I cannot see the meeting details without accepting it.I have seen the better behaviors on HTC One V and Galaxy Nexus where full meeting details including message, Date, time, venue appears in the meeting request message.Is there any setting which needs to be changes or is it the limitation of the phone app.Regards,Pratik Ranjan
Hi Johan,Im also seeing this on my xperia s, ICS. Here's some additional info i have after some testing:Work have Exchange 2010, I have sent calendar invites from outlook 2007 and 2010 clients and it works for the 2007 clients as it automatically adds the meeting details into the body of the request, something it doesn’t do in 2010, so it may be the way the calendar form has changed in 2010. It also works fine when i get an invite from an external person.This however is just adding the text into the body, I too have tested with the HTC One S and Samsung Galxay S3, bith use the stock email and both display the time as part ofthe invite no tin the body of the invite,
In doing the testing I have also found another issue. I have found that it doesn’t inform you of a calendar conflict.ThanksMike -
Sending Outlook Meeting Requests through Outlook using JSP?
Hi all,
I'm trying to develop a web application that's able to invoke the Create New Meeting Request dialog from the client's Outlook (they are using Outlook 2002/2003), and populate some data from server-side into the Meeting Request, so that users can customize the Request if necessary and send it out.
Have looked at a few solutions as follows:
1) HTML's mailto
This is not good, coz the body can only accept plain text, whereas I need to be able to send HTML text (which Outlook can accept).
2) Outlook View Control
This was more hopeful, as I was able to invoke the new Meeting Request dialog. However still no way to send my data to the Meeting Request :-(
Basically, what I need is to be able to send a customized Meeting Request through some means, like for example getting Outlook to do it like the above, or sending out via some Java APIs (do they exist?)
Any ideas if the above is possible at all? Or if there are other ways to do this, other than relying on Outlook?
I'm open to any suggestions, even commercial solutions, since I'm quite urgently in need of options.
Note that I can't connect direct to Exchange (there are some solutions for doing that), because of some security issues which doesn't allow me to connect to the Exchange Server.
Thanks in advance for any advice!Hi whartung,
Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it.
I think what you are suggesting is exactly what Outlook View Control is. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned, it seems that Microsoft did not give it sufficient controls to be able to pre-populate a new Meeting Request. You can only invoke the Outlook UI to create the Meeting Request, but there's no APIs to populate the new Meeting Request.
Have however found a possible alternative in the meantime:
Outlook supports iCalendar files which is a standard for calendaring information storage, and it is able to process a Meeting Request from an iCalendar file which contains details of the Meeting Request.
So what I'm looking to do is this:
1) Create the iCalendar file in the backend with Java.
2) Send an email to the user(s) who is intended to receive the Meeting Request, with the iCalendar file attached.
3) User clicks on the iCalendar file, which prompts them to process the Meeting Request.
Somewhat indirect, but gets the Meeting Request across, and all the 3 steps are actually possible.
Furthur to this, it opens up the possibility of sending Outllook Contacts (which supports iCard format) through similar mechanisms as well! -
Meeting request do not show other attendees
I'm having an issue where when I receive a meeting request (redirected from MS Outlook 2003, via Rule), I cannot see any other attendees invited to the meeting.
Similarly, when receiving emails, I cannot see any one else copied (To or CC'ed) on the email.
Have I missed a setting?
Any assistance is appreciated!Hi,
