Microsoft Outlook email - Calendar & contacts in Outlook Web Access, but no in Outlook Clien

That's what I figured, but the setup looks different than for Outlook 2003.
On reflection, I think my problem may be more basic. That is, I get the
feeling that in order for Outlook to work the way I want, I have to connect
directly to the Exchange Server via the corporate network (LAN or VPN). Over
the internet, I think the I'm only going to get POP3-aware downloads, i.e.
emails only. I do have VPN access to our corporate network - I don't know
why I didn't think of this before. Anyway, does that sound reasonable to
you? Other than that, I still don't see any way to specify an Exchange
Server account type during setup - it seems to auto-detect. I'm out of my
office right now, so I won't be able to try my hunch until a couple of days
from now. Any further insight/validation you can provide would be
appreciated.

You need to use Exchange acct if you want to access your calendar and
contacts in Outlook. It's the only acct type that supports those features in
the actual mailbox.

When setting up an email account in Outlook 2007, it gives you two choices
for email service: "Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP or HTTP" is the first
choice (which I chose), and the second is "Other". Now that I look at the
account settings after the fact, it set the "account type" to POP3, and
won't
allow me to change it. Is this the problem? Should I back up my Inbox
pst
file, dump the account and try to set it up again, to see if I can set up
the
"account type" as an MS Exchange account?

Are you using Outlook Anywhere, HTTP, POP3, or Exchange? You need to use
Outlook Anywhere or Exchange (classic method).

I figured they should download automatically. Is your question
regarding
the
message store for the Outlook client app on my PC? I didn't create
any
pst
file locally. I simply set up the Outlook client to point to my
corporate
email account (which is an Exchange Server account) and it
downloaded
my
Inbox, but nothing more.

I'm not sure if I answered your question, but I hope we can continue
to
communicate on this - I'm stumped.

I got a new PC and fired up the Outlook Client. Until now, I've
kept
all
my
messages, contacts, calendar & so on in Outlook Web Access (i.e.
haven't
been
using the client). All of my Inbox messages successfully
downloaded
to
my
new Outlook Client, but my Calendar, Contacts and Tasks did not.
Obviously
this information is sitting on the Exchange Server: does anyone
know
how
to
get it to download to my Outlook client?

Thanks in advance!
