MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / February 2008Calendar & contacts in Outlook Web Access, but no in Outlook Clien
I got a new PC and fired up the Outlook Client. Until now, I've kept all my messages, contacts, calendar & so on in Outlook Web Access (i.e. haven't been using the client). All of my Inbox messages successfully downloaded to my new Outlook Client, but my Calendar, Contacts and Tasks did not. Obviously this information is sitting on the Exchange Server: does anyone know how to get it to download to my Outlook client? Thanks in advance! They should download automatically. are you using a pst as your default message store or the exchange mailbox?

Is your question regarding the message store for the Outlook client app on my PC? I didn't create any pst file locally. I simply set up the Outlook client to point to my corporate email account (which is an Exchange Server account) and it downloaded my Inbox, but nothing more. I'm not sure if I answered your question, but I hope we can continue to communicate on this - I'm stumped. > They should download automatically. are you using a pst as your default > message store or the exchange mailbox?

When setting up an email account in Outlook 2007, it gives you two choices for email service: "Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP or HTTP" is the first choice (which I chose), and the second is "Other". Now that I look at the account settings after the fact, it set the "account type" to POP3, and won't allow me to change it. Is this the problem? Should I back up my Inbox pst file, dump the account and try to set it up again, to see if I can set up the "account type" as an MS Exchange account? > What type of email account did you select when you added the Exchange acct? > Are you using Outlook Anywhere, HTTP, POP3, or Exchange?

It's the only acct type that supports those features in the actual mailbox.

That's what I figured, but the setup looks different than for Outlook 2003. On reflection, I think my problem may be more basic. That is, I get the feeling that in order for Outlook to work the way I want, I have to connect directly to the Exchange Server via the corporate network (LAN or VPN). Over the internet, I think the I'm only going to get POP3-aware downloads, i.e. emails only. I do have VPN access to our corporate network - I don't know why I didn't think of this before. Anyway, does that sound reasonable to you? Other than that, I still don't see any way to specify an Exchange Server account type during setup - it seems to auto-detect. I'm out of my office right now, so I won't be able to try my hunch until a couple of days from now. Any further insight/validation you can provide would be appreciated. > You need to use Exchange acct if you want to access your calendar and > contacts in Outlook.
