Outlook 2000 Calendar Problems

Hi,

I was hoping that someone can help me with this. A user running Outlook 2000 is having problems sending and receiving meeting requests especially recurring ones. Specifically, he would send out a recurring meeting request and the attendees accept. When he opens the meeting on his calendar to see if people have accepted, the result will be none instead of accepted under the Response. He does get the email that the attendees accepted but it is not reflected in the meeting on the calendar. If you sends a meeting request that is not recurring, it would behave the same as recurring except that when he opens up the accepted email, the meeting entry will then have accepted under the Response. It would have None if the accepted email is not opened.

Also, when he receives meeting requests, he has an odd behaviour. Outlook would typically place an entry on the calendar of the attendees invited with a light blue mark on the left indicating tentative before the attendee does anything to the invitation. This should normally happen. However for him, he doesn't get that entry at all. Only when he accepts the invitation does Outlook place a meeting entry on the Calendar.

This user has a secretary that has full access to his mailbox. It was done by the mail admin on the backend. The delegate option is not being used. The secretary has his mailbox attached on her folder.

Has anyone seen this behaviour at all? If so, how did you resolve the issue(s)? Thanks.
 
We basically had to pst out the emails and calendar entries and recreate the mailbox. The mailbox was basically corrupt on the server side. The problems didn't appear again.
