Unable to display the folder. The Calendar folder could not be fou

Unable to display folder. Calendar folder could not be found.

Most of our user mailboxes were stored on the same mail server, but we continued having problems. We continued having problem, even after deleting the user's local .ost cache file. We've discovered that deselecting "Use Cached Exchange Mode" in the user's E-mail Accounts/Exchange Server Settings box, fixed the problem for our user, in Outlook 2003. This appears to maintain an online connection to the Exchange server. May not be recommended for all users in an organization, due to its bandwidth usage.
Hope this helps....

We are running Office 2003/Exchange 2003 and have created resources for our
conference rooms so staff may check each resource's calendar either by using
File > Open > Other's User Folder > then selecting the appropriate resource
and confirming that calendar is the object to be opened OR by using the
Calendar view in the Navigation Pane and selecting the appropriate calendar
from "Other Calendars". We also have many staff who have shared their
calendars with other staff. I know our setup and sharing privileges are
correct . . . I'm our technical trainer and MS certified in Outlook and have
confirmed both setup and rights.

However, I have a growing number of users who have reported (and I've
confirmed with workstation visits) that using either method to view resource
calendars and/or staff calendars may result in an "Unable to display the
folder. The Calendar folder could not be found." error message. This appears
to only occur when the user is trying to check multiple calendars. The
problem is not consistent and appears "random". The same calendars are not
affected each time. The only work-around we've found is to have the user
close Outlook and re-launch the application and then immediately check the
calendar that was previously problematic. I have searched without success
the MS Knowledgebase for even a mention of this problem but did find the
exact same issue reported on http://www.officekb.com/ . . . complete URL is
http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/[email protected].
However, no resolution was posted.

Our office is Outlook dependent and the close Outlook/re-launch Outlook
workaround is NOT an acceptable resolution.

We have not globally installed SP1 as this update appeared to create a
printing problem when a user attempted to print a copy of a shared calendar.

Any assistance in identifying the cause of this problem and/or any suggested
resolution will be greatly appreciated.

my fix

the ost thing is like a fluke, because i opened the exchange profile on another machine that wouldnt even have the ost and i get the same error.

it turns out that even though the user was added to the delegates and given permissions to the calendar to editor or whatever, the permissions didn't hold. there must be something wrong with that cpl program. if you go back into delegates and select permission for that user, you will notice that the ones you thought you set aren't there. set them and it should work fine.
