Hello Lonnie,
I have sought out information on MS tech support and indeed: They say that iCal sending/receiving is available only in when running outlook 2k in "internet only" mode. Ah, gotta love lock-in-tactics..... not. :-( At least now we know. Best wishes, Nils -----Original Message----- From: Lonnie Borntreger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Montag, 19.

I just double-click the .ics attachment, and Outlook opens it in an Appointment form. It will accept and reply to a meeting notice from Evolution that way. My problems are from Outlook->Evolution I am using Outlook in Internet Only mode, so that may make a difference in having it recognize the .ics attachment. I really don't know.

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 -----Original Message----- From: Lonnie Borntreger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Montag, 19.

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.

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.)
