Hi all!
I have an issue I have not faced before and perhaps someone else has. I am reading Microsoft article 279431 which reads:
SYMPTOMS
If you have a personal folder (.pst) file as the default delivery point and then set the Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox as the default delivery point, meeting requests that are forwarded and accepted to the .pst file are displayed in your .pst Calendar.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the header information in a .pst file is never reset after you set it as the default delivery point, even when the .pst file is no longer the default delivery point for your messages.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, reset the .pst file so that it is not the default delivery point. For assistance with this resolution, contact the Microsoft Outlook Technical Support.
Does anyone have an understand what is meant by reset the .pst?
The further down the article it mentions...
When you initially create the .pst file, you can delete any folder that you create. After you set the.pst file as the default delivery point, you cannot delete the default folders. This is by design. When you change the default delivery point back to the Exchange mailbox, you cannot delete the default folders in the .pst file. After you recover the .pst file, you can delete the Calendar, Contacts, Drafts, Journal, and Tasks folders, but not the Inbox, Outbox, or Sent Items folders. This indicates that, with the exception of the Inbox, Outbox, and Sent Items folders, the remaining folders status delivery point folders have been reset.
So in this last phrase the reference is made to recover the .pst which I assume means the same as reset the .pst that was mentioned in the first part of the article. Has anyone been able to do what is mentioned in this article?
I know you can use the Exchange client to delete the calendar folder but was wondering if the steps mentioned here are different than using the Exchange client?
