MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / September 2007Outlook 2007 Calendar All Green
Hello: I recently added a Exchange account to Outlook 2007. I have several POP accounts under my Personal Folders. In the calendar associated with the Personal Folders, I used categories to color-code appointments. When I added the Exchange account, the entire calendar took on a green tint (see: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/overlay-calendars-in-outlook-200 7-like-google-calendar-does/). My bet is that this would happen with any additional calendar. The question is: how do I get rid of that green tint? I want my normal colors back. Many thanks. the tint is based on the overlay calendar that is in focus. Click on the other calendar tab and the color changes... or click the arrow in the tab to turn off the overlay.

Hello Diane, Thanks. It seems that no matter what I do -- overlay mode, no overlay mode, even unchecking the Exchange calendar in My Calendard -- the tint of my "Calendar in Personal Folders" stays green. Any other thoughts? > the tint is based on the overlay calendar that is in focus.

Hello Diane, Thanks for the reply. Ok. On closer inspection, it appears that the default color is blue. Indeed, the calendar associated with the Exchange account is blue. It appears then that this is the default or primary calendar. Another disturbing thing is the all of the categories associated with the original Personal Folders appear to have disappeared. So, what I actually think happened was that all of the colors got purged from my Categories. So when I view my original calendar it all appears as the background color (blue or green or...). Is there a way to restore my original calendar to using the proper categories? Thank.s > is the calendar in the navigation pane highlighted in green when its > checked?

Changing this back to the Personal Folders as default returns all the Categories settings and colors. Unfortunately, it also forces the Exchange email to go into my PST inbox. I will post separately to see if this behavior can be changed -- I don't seem to be able to figure that out. thanks. > Hello Diane, > [quoted text clipped - 60 lines] >>>>> >>>>> Many thanks. if the pst is default, everything will download to it - you can use rules to move mail to a pst when you have exchange and pop3 in the profile but you can't use rules to keep mail in the exchange mailbox if its not default.
