In Outlook 2003, some customers may meet the “Calendar items missing” issue. There are several factors that can cause this problem and therefore, the whole troubleshooting process may be time consuming.

 

At this stage, we’d like to provide some tips to help you prevent such issues. The following tips are from analyzing many “Calendar items missing” issues:

 

1.     Keep your BlackBerry and GoodLink server updated

2.     Keep your Outlook and Exchange server updated

3.     Keep the manager and the delegate using the same version of Outlook

4.     If possible, make the manager and delegate’s mailboxes in the same store

5.     Avoid sending meeting request to a Distribution List (we can expand the DL first)

 

Additional best practices can be found in the following articles:

  • yup; outlook 2007 and 2010 beta having stuff dissapear still. Bold statement i guess.

  • Calendar items still disappear in Outlook 2007. The Essential DOs and DON'Ts is a little ridiculous. If I'm not spposed to forward a meeting request, don't allow me to do that. Same thing with editing single occurrences of recurring meetings. Save people from themselves Microsoft by improving your usability.

  • I am loosing anything older than six months. We use current versions of Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007 and 2010. It is happening programmatically because each day it increments. I will repost if I find a solution.
