Outlook Meeting Update Problem

Whenever an update is sent out to a group of recipients, it ends up in the sent box addressed to the sender. Logically only the sender receives it, any ideas on how to fix this?

PS. Using Outlook 2003

When the initial meeting was created and you invited the other people, did you make their attendance "required" or "optional". Have they replied with a decline?

Some attendees are optional and some are required, but still the only person who gets an update is the sender.
What's stranger, when the calendar is accessed via the webclient the appointment never got updated. When the update is done in the webclient it goes through without a problem.
This is happening on two different machines for this account, so I don't think it's a machine specific problem. I'm suspecting the user is doing something with Outlook that's causing this. Any ideas?

Some things to look at:

1.) Are they, perhaps, moving the meeting to a Personal Folder instead of leaving it in the Exchange folder?

2.) Another thing to look for would be message rules that may be playing with the original meeting request.

3.) Then, you might also look to see if they have shared their calendar with someone or given access privaledges to someone who might be deleting it on their end.

4.) Look at the properties of this person's calendar folder as compared to someone elses calendar to see if there is something different, like autoarchive, that has been set differently.

This would be one of those "Technician Intuition" things. You would probably have be there to watch what this person does, from beginning of creating a meeting in the first place, right up through and including what they do when an update to the meeting is sent. Can you have them create a test meeting while you sit and watch what they do? You'll need one required attendee and one optional attendee on the list. Watch to make sure they're inviting attendees from the correct address book/contact list (there is a local list and an online list). Then, wait and see what happens when they reply.

Let us know what you find.

we are not running Exchange instead we have MDaemon Server (9.6.3) and MDaemon Outlook Connector (2.1.5).
It seems that it is an MDaemon Outlook Connector problem. I will post more info as soon as I get some feedback from Alt-N.

This has been getting worse, so I do hope we will have a solution soon. We have at least 6 PCs affected now.

Well, that certainly makes a HUGE difference. Sounds like the connector isn't doing it's job. Thanks for the clarification.
