I believe the problem of the attendee status not being updated for a meeting
organizer using Entourage is related to an issue with the Identity being
used by the user. When I created a new identity, attendee status was
updated correctly. I also believe that this problem may have have something
to do with the history of how Entourage identity was updated. The identity
that had the problem with had gone through several incremental SP updates.
Short story - if the attendee status is not being updated, one solution is
to create a new identity.
Unfortunately, this will mean exporting local mail, address book entries,
etc and importing them into the new identity. A big shortcoming is that
Entourage's Export command on the File menu will not export local groups
(though as a work around you can drag the email addresses in the group to a
note - Notes DO export). This is a bit of a kludge but works (though all
the email addresses copy over as one line and I had to insert returns back
in to make them appear on one line). You will have to recreate your groups
once in the new identity by dragging the email addresses in an imported
note to an empty group.
