Hello Friends,

I have a pst file and have configured it so that all mail comes to this pst
folder instead of to the exchange server inbox. Unfortunately, now the
calendar data like meetings etc also come in the pst calendar and not in the
exchange server calendar. Hence, when others try to view my calendar they do
not see up to date data. The up to date calendar is in my pst calendar and
not my exchange server calendar. How can i use my pst for mails only and
configure that calendar data comes to the Exchange server and a copy of that
to the pst calendar?

Make your delivery location the Exchange mailbox. Then create a rule that
moves all incoming items that use the Message form to the PST. That will
move the mail and leave the rest on the server. WIthout an add-in, though,
you won't get calednar entries in both calendars automatically.

Hello Brian,

Thank you for the solution. I followed your advice and made the exchange
server the default location for all incoming outlook data. Then I created a
general rule to move all data except meeting requests to go to my pst.

However, this created an additional problem since I had many other rules. So
what started happening was that for every mail that came to the exchange
server and matched a rule, 1 copy of the mail was coming to the pst inbox and
another copy to the a subfolder (belonging to that pst /another pst). I
solved that by removing the general rule and made only the other rules active.

Is there any way to make a rule which should act on data items which are not
matched by any other rule?

You need to add the "stop processing more rules" action to any rules that do
a move. This will guarantee that only that rule acts upon a message if it
matches the conditions.
