Moving calender

[Juggy]

Hi

I would like to know how to move the calender from the
deleted items back to the default folder's under outlook
today, The mailbox is held on Exchange 2000 and the client
gets the error "Can't move the item's. Special folders,
including the inbox,contacts, calender, notes, tasks, and
journal folders, cannot be moved." and the can nly clikc
ok.

I have recreated the mail profile but as this is held on
the exchange server makes no difference. Any help in this
matter would be appreciated.
Thanks

Look on the Slipstick site for Ffolder Utility:

Ffolder Utility: Utility to rename or delete "special"
Outlook folders such as the Calendar, Tasks, Inbox, and
Contacts. VB source code included.

Look on technet for the information on how to rebuild the
Calendar system folder with the "/ResetFolders" switch:

OL2000: Additional Command-Line Switches

1) Transfer your info into a safe folder.
2) Delete the "messed up system Calendar folder" using the
Ffolder Utility.
3) Rebuild your Calendar system folder using the ".../ResetFolders"
switch
3) Then you can transfer them back into the system folder after
the rebuild.

FIRST make sure that all of your calendar data is in one folder that
you do not delete. Then use the Ffolder tool to delete the "bad" folders.
Then use the ".../"ResetFolders" switch to rebuild your Exchange system
folder. Then copy all of your contacts from the other folder back into
the newly built system folder. Then delete the duplicate non-system
folder.

The easiest way to fix this is to log onto OWA "Web mail" and drag the
item back to where it belongs. This is most likely how it got moved in
the first place.
