Open the public folder calendar in Outlook. Click View > Change View > List so you get a tabular list of everything. Select all the calendar entries and drag them to the mailbox's calendar. Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed Crowley Thanks alot for your assistance as per above, i really appreciate your help. It worked i manged to drag the calendar from the public folder (i used outlook 2003) and place it in my calender and from their i copy to the destination calendar. But i noticed that i only copied from this month onwards AND DID NOT COPY FROM THE LAST PERVIOUS MEETINGS LIKE FROM THE LAST YEAR. IT ONLY COPIED THE "RECURRENCE" Will you be able to suggest something that will be great thanks alot. Regards Reshmi

So what i did was just dragged the IT Desk into IT Meeting Desk and thats how it copied all recurring meetings. BUT i lost here......(Pick a tabular list that has everything and drag that.) How would i do that i tried but did work for me. All i need is the normal meeting. which is in IT DESK Appreciate your help. Thanks

In Outlook 2010 (steps would be similar but different in Outlook 2003): Click the calendar folder of interest. Click View > Change View > List (or Active if you don't want to copy out-of-date items) You should see a tabular list of everything in the calendar which is a lot easier to copy and paste.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed Many thanks :) i got it this time. i have another issue hoping if you would help me with! I have a query about a "mailbox" account. In my inbox i have a mailbox called "Client Services" I want everyone to be able to VIEW the emails. HOWEVER, I only want a few people to be able to respond, move, delete or flag the Client Services emails. The people who can have full access to move, flag, etc., are: User1 User2 User3. Can you please me so that i can block all other people from anything other than view. Please advise if possible to do something about it. Thanks Reshmi

You can't have a mailbox in your Inbox. You can have a folder in your Inbox. Is that what you have? Or do you have a folder in your mailbox? Everything you need to do this is in your control by setting permissions on the folders. Using outlook, right-click the folder, select Properties, Permissions tab. Grant User1, User2 and User3 the "Publishing Editor" Permission Level, and give Default the "Reviewer" Permission Level. One thing about nested folders is that you have to give users read permissions on the parent folder or else they won't be able to see the child folder. I bring that up in case you have this "Client Services" under "Inbox". You probably want to move "Client Services" to the root, i.e., under "Outlook Today".Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed Thanks for your response. i have a folder "Client Service Email" in the "inbox". I have a mailbox "Client Service Email" in Exchange 2007 and "Manage full access permission" are set for few users and i included my self as well. Now i have add "Client Services Email" folder to my inbox. Using outlook, right-click the folder, selected Properties, Permissions tab. Default has a "Reviewer" permission level and Client Services group has "Reviewer" permission as well. inorder to give "Publishing Editior" permission lever to User1 and User2... should i remove "Client Service group" and add each user with the reviewer permission and except for "User1 +2+3" to have "publishing editior" permission.? Please help me on the last paragraph here: 1.)(One thing about nested folders is that you have to give users read permissions on the parent folder or else they won't be able to see the child folder. I dont quiet understand about the parent folder which folder are you referring too?) 2.) (I bring that up in case you have this "Client Services" under "Inbox". You probably want to move "Client Services" to the root, i.e., under "Outlook Today".) How would i be able to move this to the root folder? Do i have to move this to root folder? Thanks ED for your assistance look forward to hear form you. Regards Reshmi

"Reviewer" is a Permission level. There can be only one. So just change it to "Publishing Editor", which has all the rights of "Reviewer" and the additional rights to do the things you want it to do. When you change it, look at all the checkboxes that get set for an understanding of what individual permissions that permission level (formerly known as a "Role", which I think is a better name) grants. 1. Move "Client Service Email" from under the Inbox to under Outlook Today (the mailbox root). 2. Drag and drop it in Outlook. Doing that means that users don't need any rights to your Inbox in order to see "Client Service Email", therefore making your permission setting easier.

If your databases are configured as the default, there's 14 days' worth of deleted items and 30 days' worth of deleted mailboxes. Have you accounted for that?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Dear ED, Do you mean "Database Management" ? or where do i check it from. cheers, Reshmi

Those are properties of the mailbox databases.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Dear Ed, Thanks for your response. i have checked the "Mailbox databases" and by default, there's 14 days' worth of deleted items and 30 days' worth of deleted mailboxes. Do you think thats taking lot of storage space? is there anything else i need to consider as well? Cheers Reshmi

It could, but I don't know for sure in your case.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Rich Matheisen, Thank you for replying. Iam not very good at the powershell cmd can you please assist me with the cmd incase iam typing something wrong> I have type the cmd in power shell $servers = Get-ExchangeServer | where {$_.IsMailboxserver -eq $true} this bit works but from here the cmd did work. foreach ($server in $servers) { Get-Mailboxstatistics -Server $server | where {$_.DisconnectDate -ne $null} | Format-Table DisplayName,TotalItemSize,Database -auto -wrap }

The 1st line should all by itself, like this: $servers = Get-ExchangeServer | where {$_.IsMailboxserver -eq $true} Then this (this can be all on one line, too -- but a separate line): foreach ($server in $servers) { Get-Mailboxstatistics -Server $server | where {$_.DisconnectDate -ne $null} | Format-Table DisplayName,TotalItemSize,Database -auto -wrap } --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Rich Matheisen, The Power shell cmd works thanks alot. I wonder if you could assist me with "Deleted Items age to automatic purge”. Iam using outlook 2003/ 2010 i know by enabling "Deleted Items Folder" will deleted all emails in the deleted folder but you can not set this options in the exchange server? If there is a way can you please let me know? I had gone through the tech net site and had a look through at the "Exchange Management Console to create new managed content settings " Iam not to sure if thats the only way to go about it. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for me. thank you.
