Is there a "fix" for Exchange 2003 & Outlook 2003 receiving and accepting iCal Meeting requests from Mac Mail?
I know I can't be the only person who has Mac Books in their company and is running Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003.When a Mac user sends a meeting request using MacMail, Outlook doesn't know how to read it. You can't accept or do anything you could normally do to a meeting request. If you try to drag it to your calendar it doesn't work because it thinks you are the owner of the meeting.We have tried different versions of Mac Mail all with no luck.The funny thing is that we can receive and reply to other calendar programs that use .ICS icalendaring, like Lotus Notes and others, It's just Mac Mail.I know Exchange converts Ics files to MS messaging format or something but it just doesn't do well with Mac Mail.Is there a fix that anyone knows of or do I have to make my Mac people mad and force them to use Entourage. (which I would then have to purchase)Any help is appreciated.Mac Mail Woes Moe
