Meeting Notice acceptance going to Large Personal Folder

[BlueWolverine]

Hello,
MS OUTLOOK 2003 on XP PRO.

My problem is that meeting notices are going a calendar I didn't know
existed in my LARGE PERSONAL FOLDERS instead of my server based calendar,
where I operate. So I'm unaware of meetings... Very aggravating.

It never used to do this under exactly the circumstances I am about to
describe.

I have rules set up to move emails from certain people to my LPF. So I get
a meeting notice from BOB, it gets moved to LPF folder named BOB. I click
ACCEPT on the meeting notice and it used to be added to my calendar (Server
side, INBOX etc) and now it gets added to a calendar in LPF I didn't know
existed. I don't want to ever putting meeting notices on the LPF calendar
and I'd like to delete it if at all possible.

Please let me know if you have any idea what is happening.

FYI I believe that emails in my INBOX (SERVER SIDE) are being accepted on to
my SERVER SIDE calendar.

Thanks.

Add an exception to your rules so they don't apply to meeting requests.

That sounds like an option, but it's really the mechanic's diagnosis, not the
engineer's isn't it?

"The engine exploded, thus replace engine." - Mechanic
"Why the heck did the engine explode and how can I prevent it in the
future?" - Engineer

It never used to do this. I could accept a meeting notice out of my large
personal folders and it would go to my regular calendar every time.

What changed so I can unchange it?

Thanks,

SOLUTION:

Create a new PST file. Close your old pst file. Import the data from your
old pst file. Delete your PST Calendar BEFORE you accept any meeting
notices. This solves the problem and returns me to the original state.

If outlook decides you need a calendar in the pst, it will create another
one.

Create a new PST file. Close your old pst file. Import the data from your
old pst file. Delete your PST Calendar BEFORE you accept any meeting
notices. This solves the problem and returns me to the original state.

Importing from a PST is less-than-ideal. Importing always loses data.
