BlackBerry - Calendar invitations from Outlook 2007

[TrustedChoiceAgency]

We have a BlackBerry Storm and Tour. Outlook 2007 at work (32 bit) and
Outlook 2007 at home (64 bit). Invitations to calendar items from work come
into the BlackBerries as emails that can be accepted (just like from one
computer with Outlook to another) but invitations to calendar items from home
cannot be accepted to the calendar, they come in only as e-mail attachments.
Being that the only difference between the computers is that one is 64 bit,
could that be the problem? We cannot find any other setting that seem to
cause this.

And you might say, just synch the BlackBerries to the computers - but
there's a failure on that also, not to mention I don't necessarily want all
the calendar items from work on the BlackBerry.

How do you sync each computer to the BB? Do you use BIS at home and BES at
work?

The BlackBerries are new for us. We haven't yet synched because we tried
several times at home using Desktop Manager 4.7 which came with the BB Storm
and it seemed to get almost all the the way through then fail. We then
realized that we didn't really need to synch everything anyway, we simply
need for "invitations" to Outlook Calendar items to be received by the
BlackBerry in such a way that they can be accepted and automatically added to
the calendar - but that fails from home.

Thanks for any suggestions you can give!!

How are the accounts configured on the blackberry? Do both the home and
work accounts get mail the exact same way? How do they get the mail? Is one
using BIS and the other BES?

Both are BIS, Windows XP Professional, Outlook 2007, and so I thought they
should function exactly the same, shouldn't they?

They should work the same, provided the TNEF data isn't removed or both are
sent as ics, not vcals. I know BIS doesn't handle attachments and some
things as well as BES, but its been awhile since I used BIS and I don't
recall if meeting requests was one of the things.

We are not trying to import or export, just using the "Invitation" option. I
don't really know what it all means, but it looks to me like we're TNEF, not
ics or vcals.

I had someone else at work send my office computer an invitation and I sent
it an invitation from home. (To my office computer so I could view the coding
under "Message Options") This is how they were similar/different.

Home:
Content-Type: application/ms-tnef;
name="winmail.dat"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="winmail.dat"
(This one comes in as an e-mail attachment and cannot be accepted as a
calendar item on the BB)

Work:
Content-Type: application/ms-tnef;
name="winmail.dat"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
(This one works perfectly on the BB)

Thanks again, for any assistance...

They should work the same, provided the TNEF data isn't removed or both are
sent as ics, not vcals. I know BIS doesn't handle attachments and some
things as well as BES, but its been awhile since I used BIS and I don't
recall if meeting requests was one of the things.
