I have Entourage 11.2.1 running on my MAC that is synchronizing with Exchange 2003 and my Outlook 2003 profile on my IBM Thinkpad. Everything seemed to work fine up until I started noticing something strange.
If I were to receive an invite and accept from Entourage or Outlook, the calendar entry remains and is fine. If I were to accept the invite from my Blackberry, it deletes the entry from Entourage but keeps it in Outlook and the Blackberry.
I can recreate this on another MAC using a different account using a different blackberry.
What I have been able to gather was:
1. When an invite is received, it appears in Entourage, Outlook, and the blackberry in both the Email (waiting for a response for the invite) and the calendar (as a calendar entry).
2. If I accept the invite from either Entourage or Outlook, the calendar entry stays in Entourage, Outlook and Blackberry calendars and the email is removed from the inbox of Entourage, Outlook, and Blackberry.
3. If I accept the invite from the Blackberry, it removes the email from Entourage, Outlook, and Blackberry. BUT, the calendar entry is ALSO REMOVED from Entourage. The calendar entry will stay in Outlook and Blackberry.
Since I only use my MAC and Blackberry, I might accidentally schedule double bookings since I look at the Entourage calendar more frequently than the Blackberry.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If so, does anyone know of any fix?
The only work around that I have been able see that works every time is opening the calendar entry in Outlook or Blackberry and saving it (no changes are made). Interestingly enough, the calendar entry re-appears in the Entourage calendar. Surely, this is not the way it is supposed to work.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
