RE: [Evolution] Appointments with Outlook

["Jeppe, Nils" <Nils Jeppe usd de>]

Hello Lonnie,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using Outlook 2000. You are right, if I save the .ics File to Disk then
tell Outlook to import it, it shows up in the Calendar. Maybe someone knows
of, well, a more elegant way? Clearly this is pretty unusable for actual
use. :-(

Best wishes,
Nils

What version of Outlook?  Only Outlook 2000 or newer supports the iCal
format which is used by evolution.

I don't know if this is a but, but to do Outlook 2000 -> evolution, I
have to forward the meeting as an iCal attachment, save this as a file
and import it.  I get no option to directly save to the calendar.  If I
send a meeting request in iCal format, and evolution just shows the iCal
text inline as plain text.

    Hello People,
    
    My advanced apologies if I am just missing something obvious or have
been
    avoiding hitting the correct URL in my research. Here goes my problem: I
am
    trying to make Evolution talk to my Outlook in regards to appointments.
The
    Evolution "Features" page lists this as possible, but all I get on my
    outlook are emails with files named calendar.ics attached. MS Outlook
seems
    pretty much unable to handle these.
    
    I'd be grateful for any help.
    
    (Version of Evolution: 0.99.1, installed via Red Carpet on RedHat 7.0.)
    
    Best wishes,
    Nils
