Meeting Accepted....where did it go?

I am running Outlook 2003 and my e-mail is on a Microsoft Exchange Server. I
use a rule to download all inbox mail from exchange server to personal
in-mail folder. When I receive a meeting invite and I 'accept' it, it does
NOT get saved in my calendar. If I look in the 'Sent' folder mail, I see the
response is sent back ok...but it also states that the appointment was not
saved or was moved. So...how do I figure out how to save this in my
calendar....and/or figure out where it got moved?

Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hmmm, is it not in your local Calendar or the one on the Exchange Server?

When I look on the Exchange Server...it doesn't show a calendar. When I
click on Calendars (left side of Outlook) I have 2 Calendars, 1 called
Calendar (which seems to be the main one) and 1 is Calendar - Personal (I
created this yesterday to try and resolve my problem). I had more of these
'personal calendars' at one point....which I deleted. Any chance 1 of them
is getting the meeting? How would I restore them back?

Thanks.

Unlikely that a calendar folder that you could delete was getting the
meetings.

Any particular reason you're not using your Exchange Server mailbox as your
primary data location? I'm curious since using it would make things
significantly easier

Probably a bad habit from before I was on an Exchange Server. e-mail space
was limited so I always moved my mail to my local folders(using rules) to
free up space on the e-mail server....and this has just sort of stuck. Also
with my laptop...makes it easier to work with all my e-mails if I am not
connected.

Discovered something else of interest. I opened the accepted meeting in the
'sent' folder...went to View/Calendar. For the window which displays, on the
left side of it, under 'All Folders' I now see my Calendar listed under the
'Mailbox' on the Exchange server...and it does show a Calendar (in the main
body of the window) with my meeting entry. So...the question is...how do I
get this Calendar to be reflected in the list of Calendars when I click on
'Calendar' on the left side of Outlook. Wish I could attach a screen
prinit...it would make it easier to describe.

Thanks.

Just so you know, you can have something called "Offline Folders" for use
with an Exchange Server mailbox so you can work while you're offline.

Do you have your mailbox open in your folder tree? If so, its Calendar
should show up in the list of available calendars.

I do not see any 'Offline Folders'. I have 'Favorite Folders' and 'All Mail
Folders' only. When I open my 'Mailbox' folder within 'All Mail Folders',
there is no Calendar displayed. I have the following folders: Deleted Items,
Drafts, Inbox, Junk E-Mail, Outbox, Quarantine, Sent Items and Search Folders.

The magic phrase there is "All Mail Folders" - a Calendar folder isn't a
mail folder so it won't show.

There's info on Offline Folders he

You won't see them if you haven't set them up yet but I think they might
help you in your situation
