Hi there!

Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction with this
problem - I have no outlook right here, so I'd like to ask you:

A colleague works on a windows xp box, using outlook 2003 as a client,
which is connected over a company lan to an outlook server.

He claims that he has not received an important appointment at the
right time and so he did not join a certain meeting. Because this was
a meeting with his bosses he got into trouble.

Now he claims that there was no appointment _before_ the meeting
occured, but a few days later the appointment was in his calendar.

He sais he has no clue how this could happen, but a few days after the
meeting was he got an new appointment for some meeting that has
nothing to do with the first one and at the same moment the app. for
the meeting he missed was there, too?!

Well, in my understanding, an outlook appointment is an email like any
other. Also, an app. can point to the past when it is sent, so this is
not a proof at all.

As far as I remember, in the email header you can see when the email /
appointment was created - but: how does this look like, if you, for
instance, create an appointment and click on "send", but outlook is
not connected to the server because of network or outlook
authentication problems and so the email hangs in the outbox of the
sending client for a certain time?

Any idea how to clear, who is lying in this "game"?

Thanks, best regards,

Markus
