After furious head scratching, Nathan Toone asked:
| They are just being added as tentative...and I find it hard to
| believe that there isn't a way to turn it off. That's ridiculous.
|
| I have a personal email account which I check using an IMAP server
| periodically, and I do not want my personal appointments being added
| to my calendar - even as "tentative"...
|
| Who is Outlook to decide what *I* want to put on my *OWN* calendar?
| I guess I'll just have to use Thunderbird to check my personal
| account...too bad that a commercial product - which I paid good money
| for - can't do something as simple as allowing me to check multiple
| accounts without messing everything up.
|
| This, by the way, is new in Outlook 2003 - I didn't have this bug in
| Outlook XP. Thank you very much for the information though.
