Oracle's calendar server keeps a record of ownership, similar to Outlook's concept of organizers, for every item added to its database. You may not alter a meeting or event created by someone else, unless that user has granted you delegate access to his or her Calendar folder.
If you attempt to delete a meeting or event that you do not own, it will disappear from your Calendar folder, but will not be not removed from the server database. Instead, your attendee status will be set to Declined, and the meeting or event will remain in your Deleted Items folder.
If you attempt to move a Meeting or Event that you do not own by clicking and dragging it to a new time, the original version will remain in your Calendar as originally proposed. A copy, owned by you, will be created according to your new specifications, to which all original attendees will be invited. Outlook will prompt you with the following message:
You may want to let the Meeting organizer know you changed the Meeting "Title". If the Meeting organizer sends an update for this Meeting, your changes will be lost. Is this OK?
Since you are not modifying the original Meeting or Event, but rather creating a new one, your copy will not be deleted if the original organizer sends an update. Click OK.
Outlook will now prompt you with the following message:
Your changes could not be saved because you don't have permission to modify some or all of the items in this folder. Do you want to save a copy of this item in the default folder for the item?
Click Yes to create your altered copy of the original meeting or event. Click No to return to your Calendar without creating the copy.
Changing a meeting or event's free/busy display, reminders, and privacy level by using the right-click pop-up menu will not create a new copy. In this case, however, your changes will be lost if the organizer sends an update.
Outlook and Oracle's calendar server use different terms to refer to the available types of meetings and events. When Oracle Outlook Connector stores and retrieves meetings and events, it maps between these event types according to the following tables.
Outlook and Oracle's calendar server have different importance levels. When Oracle Outlook Connector stores and retrieves meetings and events, it maps between these importance levels according to the following tables.

Whenever you delete or decline a calendar entry, whether from your Inbox or Calendar folder, that entry is moved to your Deleted Items folder. Other Oracle calendar clients will display your response to these meetings as "Refused".
