Random blank appointments in Outlook 2007

[chrisc]

Hi,

I keep getting random blank appointments appearing in Outlook 2007 SP1. They
pop up at a rate of a few (5-15) a day, except on one occasion a few days
back when about 2,600 appeared scheduled between 23h30 one day an 04h00 the
next.

Meeting reminders for the bogus appointments also appear - but not
one-to-one. Sometimes I get reminders and when I look, there's nothing there;
other times appointments appear without reminders.

Any ideas gratefully received - it's starting to drive me nuts.

do you sync with a pda or phone?

Hi Diane,

I do synch with a phone (Samsung i780, WM 6), synchronising with Vista
Business.

I only synch every few days, and the occurrence of the spurious reminders
and blank appointments doesn't seem to be correlated in any way with synching.

On the phone, there are no equivalent oddities in the calendar.

Regards,

I forgot to mention: my Outlook monitors 3 email accounts which are all plain
old POP3.

Dell with mediadirect can cause recurring oddities too.

If you don't have a dell, try not syncing for a couple of weeks and see if
its better.
