Multiple Calendars in OL 2003 don't stay checked

[Bill Bradley]

Am using OL 2003 and Exchange 5.5 w/SP4. Since this version of OL allows
you to check and view multiple Calendars (multiple mailboxes, not same one),
I select the ones I want to view (usually my own and one other).

However, the selection doesn't stay checked, and, either in the same
session, or, after exiting and reentering OL, the second Calendar is no
longer checked (I NEVER lose the check on my own Calendar, just the others).

Other users of OL 2003 are having the same issue.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks!

It should remain checked within the same outlook session, but doesn't when
you close and reopen outlook.

Thanks.

It doesn't (I typically leave my session at work open for days at a time),
and...are you saying it's "working as designed" to uncheck itself? That's
maybe designed, but, certainly not desired!

Yes and Yes. It's an annoying, illogical behavior and popular request but so
far, it hasn't made it into the UI.

OK, thanks. So much for the vaunted tales of "How we listen to our users."
from MS...

They do... just not on this. Just not right now... The Navigation pane
is somewhat fragile and it's possible that remembering the folder settings
makes it worse.
