Personal Folder randomly creates a new calendar

[Argento]

I'm running Outlook 2003 and I have a personal folder to
which my inbox is directed to. All incoming mail is
going to a folder on this personal folder. The problem I
have is this is the second time a calendar has been
created in my personal folder by Outlook. This calendar
simply appears in my personal folder and defaults as my
main calendar so that all appointments are now added to
this calendar and not the one in my main .ost file.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Your default Calendar is always the calendar in the same folder hierarchy as
your default Inbox. If you want to accept appointments in your Exchange
mailbox, its Inbox needs to be your default. The best solution is to get rid
of the .pst file or use rules to direct items to the folders there from your
mailbox Inbox (assuming you're using cached Exchagne mode)

Sue,
Apologies but I have the same error and the default
delivery mailbox is the Exchange mailbox. I have a rule
setup that any message less than 99999999kb in size is
delivered to my pst Inbox. Does "Message" also include
accepted meeting requests? I need to share and sync my
calendar with a handheld so my online calendar needs to
be my main schedule.

Any other thoughts?
James

Yes, it does, unless you include a rule condition to force the rule to
operate only on certain message classes (forms).

The big question is, why are you using a .pst file in the first place?
