Help! Invites Getting Added into Wrong Calendar

I am running Outlook 2003 SP2. All updates installed. When I accept a
Calendar invite, it adds it to a calendar I never created but somehow exists,
"Calendar in Outlook Folders", instead of "Calendar". When I go into
"Calendar", the appointment isn't there and when I check my sent items, it
says that the meeting is not in the Calandar and may have been moved or
deleted, but also states that I accepted. HOWEVER, if i accept with Windows
Mobile it does go into Calendar.

I'm afraid to delete the "Calendar in Outlook Folders", but if that is the
solution, I'll do it.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Kevin

mail is being delivered to "mailbox - kevin Barlay". There is an option to
chose outlook folders, which is where the calendar invites are going now
however.

To answer your original post, you cannot delete the Calendar folder in Personal Folders. Do you have rules that move items from individuals to the Personal Folders? If yes, then add a caveat in each of those rules to not move appointment items.

I have seen this happen years ago and was presented with the same solution.
This has just happened to me again - meetings that I accepted were going into
the correct calendar in my account on the Outlook server, and now suddenly
when I accept them, they go into the wrong calendar in my Personal Folders.
I have always used a filter to send items from my inbox to my personal
folders. But changing the filter to move all items except calendar items is
not a good solution, because now I must check two inboxes for all incoming
messages. There must be some other solution.

Click ToolsE-mail AccountsNext and see where you've set your delivery
location.

Under "Deliver new email to the following location: "
it is set to
Mailbox - Schneider, Michael
which is correct.

The problem is that I have all messages filtered into another inbox in
my Personal Folders. Now, when I accept a meeting from the Inbox in
my Personal Folders, it's going into the Calendar in my Personal
Folders instead of the Calendar on the server.

You might suspect that it should work this way. However, it's been
working the way that I wanted it to for the last 18 months and
suddenly just changed.
