RE: [WinMac] Mac Outlook Client to Exchange Calendar?

(Supposedly) with Oulook for Mac SP2, the Mac and PC can share a calendar
now, and see each other's appointments (given appropriate permissions.) The
problem for Mac users is that the calendar doesn't LOOK like a calendar, it
looks like Inbox.

The appointments I when the Mac client looks at a calendar on our Exchange
server (in Public Folders) were all generated on PCs. I have NOT tried
posting events to these calendars from a Mac, though. Since it seems like
not too many folks out there run Outlook for Mac SP2 I could test this for
you if you like...
