Entourage 2008 Not Syncing Calendar with Exchange

[kirky76]

Hi All,

I'm running with Entourage 2008 (12.1.12 Build 080729) on OS X 10.5.5
and have recently discovered problems with the calendar
synchronisation with my Exchange server. Everything used to work ok
but recently I noticed that events were in my Entourage calendar but
not in Exchange. Mail is working fine but calender simply won't sync.
Any thoughts on what I can do to check why this might be failing?

Thanks.

If you see this in just one or a handful of folders (or your calendar)
then right-click or Control-click that folder, select Folder Properties
and click the Empty button to empty the cache. You can also select the
account itself and empty the cache for all of your folders.

Hope this helps!

Bill,

I'm also experiencing sync problems between Entourage and my backend
Exchange server, however I'm connected to Exchange via IMAP (since my company
hasn't enable WebDAV support on our servers yet). However, the symptoms
reported here and elsewhere are the same: events added locally in Entourage
(including incoming meeting invites) do not show up in the backend Exchange
database if accepted in Entourage.

I've 'downgraded' to Mac Office 2008 SP1. I've run the 'Repair Message
List' command (remember, this is Entourage 2008 not 2004!), etc., to no
avail. Everything short of setting up a parallel account, and moving events
between the 2 - although I don't view this as a fix.

Any suggestions? Or simply wait for the next service pack?

Regards,
Ross Lillie

Hi Ross!

If you have an answer or comment for the original poster then please
respond within that thread. Otherwise, if you're looking for a solution
to your own problem -- no matter how similar to someone else's -- then
begin your own thread. Similar problems may not have the same solutions.

IMAP does not support calendaring and contacts. You must connect as an
Exchange client for either of them to work. With IMAP all you can
connect is mail.

If this doesn't answer your question then begin a new thread with
details of your own problem, include your software versions and what
you've tried already to fix the problem.

Hope this helps!
