This section describes how to work with calendar folders and provides some tips on features that are specific to Sun Java System Connector for Microsoft Outlook.
The following topics are discussed in this chapter:
You can access your default calendar on the Sun Java System Calendar Server using one of the following methods:
In the Folder List, select the Calendar subfolder under Folders - your user name.
In the Outlook Today view, select Calendar.
Select Calendar under the Outlook Shortcuts view.
You can grant access to your calendar to another user. That user may then subscribe to your calendar. The access permissions range from being able to read your calendar, to allowing another user to create, modify, or delete events in your calendar.
Right-click Calendar from Folders - your user name and select Properties.
The Calendar Properties window appears.
Select the Permissions tab.
Click Add user.
In the Add User dialog, enter the userID and choose the permission settings, or click Search to search for a user.
Click OK to delegate access to your calendar to the specified user.
If you are granted access to another calendar, and create an event in that calendar, the calendar owner is listed as the organizer of that event. Any email reminders sent about that event is sent on behalf of the calendar owner.
Another user can grant you access to his or her calendar.
In the Folder List, right-click Shared Calendars and select Properties.
The Shared Calendar Properties dialog appears.
Select the Subscribe tab.
Click Subscribe.
In Add Calendar dialog:
Click OK in the Shared Calendar Properties window.
The calendar is added to your list of subscribed calendars.
In the Folder List, right-click Shared Calendars and select Properties.
The Shared Calendar Properties dialog appears.
Select the Subscribe tab.
A list of subscribed calendars appears in the Calendars list.
Select the calendar from which you wish to unsubscribe.
Click Unsubscribe.
A dialog appears asking if you wish to unsubscribe from this calendar.
Click yes to unsubscribe. Click no to cancel.
The calendar will be deleted from your subscribed calendar list.
You can synchronize a calendar folder or all folders (including mail, calendar, tasks, and contacts). Synchronizing updates the local data from the server. This deletes all local items. All calendar attachments and embedded data objects will also be removed.
From the folders list, right-click on a calendar folder.
The folder properties window is displayed.
In the folder properties window, select the Advanced tab.
Click “Empty and resync.”
A dialog appears indicating that the folder is synchronizing. The dialog disappears when complete.
Click OK to close the folder properties window.
To synchronize all folders, including mail, calendar, tasks, and contacts, see Configuring Store and Logging Properties.
