Re: Internet message creates appointment
I guess most people want the "tenative" event placed in the calendar upon
receiving a meeting request. That definately seems to be the default.
However, any typical CEO, would gasp at the thought of anything disturbing
his/her calendar. The CEO I am dealing with does not want anything put into
his calendar at all. He does not want to have to "decline" a meeting request
and he definately doesn't want his travel service to add his flight itenerary
to his Outlook calendar. The question is: Is this a feature that can be
turned off? If yes, how does he turn it off for himself and his two
delagates? If no, why not? I would think of an outsider able to add items
to my calendar as a security risk. What stops a hacker from emailing you
10,000 meeting requests and forcing you to decline them?
In this particular case, he is using Outlook 2007 and Exchange Server
Standard 2003.

Perhaps he needs to configure his delegates to handle this for him, if he
doesn't want to bother with it himself. I don't know the "typical CEO" you
refer to; most of the business owners I've worked with either do this
themselves like normal users or delegate it to their assistants.

Not really, although perhaps it's an annoyance. What's so insecure about a
tentative calendar appointment?

In Outlook, try going to tools | options | calendar options, and there's an
option to automatically decline all requests.
