The problem is that if you have nothing showing during a time (even 9 PM)
then Outlook presumes that it is available since appointments are not made
solely for business reasons. You could have a dinner appointment or an
after hours meeting with a client so Outlook will NOT mark your non-business
hours as off-limit. You can even have a party you need to go to that is
entirely personal - again, Outlook will NOT mark your non-business hours as
unavailable.
Outlook is a PERSONAL information manager (PIM) and not just a business
information manager. You will need to find a workaround that will work for
you - my suggestion is the most often used one for this purpose, but others
may have more suggestions that work better in your situation.
