icalendar exchange to pop3

[mathew dalton]

This is what I have found, in outlook 2000-2003, you can send out an (from
your calendar) invite to clients using an exchange server and the email will
have the option to accept, decline and ECT.... Exchange client to exchange
clients works, pop3 client to pop3 client work, but exchange (any version of
outlook) to pop3 (any version outlook) doesn’t. When outlook is connected to
an exchange server the option (tools, options, prefs, and calendar) "when
sending meeting request...." is grayed out. On POP3 clients it is not. Why?
They are both using ICALENDAR format, correct? Or does the exchange server
use a form of ICALENDAR. I need to know if there is a way to have this work.
I need an outlook exchange client to be able to send a meeting request to a
POP3 client and that POP3 client be able to accept the meeting request.
Please help (e-mail address removed)

It's grayed out because Exchange 2000/2003 should handle the conversion of the meeting request to iCalendar automaticlaly. Try it!

Sue,
I have tried, when I send from exchange to a pop3 (a meeting request) the
request is just text in an email, it doesn't import in to the calendar as it
does when it is pop3 to pop3 or exchange to exchange. It does work pop3 to
exchange, but not exchange to pop3. Example, I send from my job home, from
our exchange server to my road runner account at home, it is just text. If I
send from home (road Runner) to work (a meeting request) it works. Any
ideas, the box is checked on the pop3 outlook, but it doesn’t help.

What version of Exchange server? What version of Outlook is the client running? What does the client actually receive -- not just the message body, but the headers? It would be very helpful to see the full message source. Can you send to an account you can read with Outlook express?

Ah, I wonder if the Symantec antispam engine is doing something to disrupt the transmission. Can you get hold of the full message source for an item?
