[SOLVED] Can you make revoked shared clendars go away in outlook.

[devries]

I'm currently testing the outlook connector to catalog any quirks so we can document them for support staff and users. Perhaps my lack of familiarity with outlook is the problem, but I'm doubting it.

Here is the situation.

UserA and UserB have zimbra accounts, UserA is using (trying to anyway) outlook 2007 (on Vista if it matters), UserB is using the web client.

UserB share's a calendar with UserA.

UserA does the usual step of opening UserB's mailbox form within outlook.

UserA successfully gets the shared calendar (this is not the default calendar for UserB, but an additional calendar).

UserB then revokes the share to UserA.

Within the web client, UserA no longer see's the shared calendar. However, via outlook, I still see "foo - UserB." However, it no longer has any events in it. I can't seem to remove it, and whenever I do send/receive (either manually, or at the scheduled intervals) it is attempting to share the calendar and failing.

Any idea on how to actually remove the offending revoked calendar from outlook?


Zimbra is 5.0.10_GA_2638
Outlook connector is 5.0.10_GA_2638_5.0.2767.10
Office is 2007 12.0.6316.5000 SP1 MSO (12.0.6320.5000)
OS is vista.

OK, figured out the answer.

From within the mail folder of outlook, you will see shared user's folders
right click the user, and close them. Then reopen them. All that user's shared stuff goes away when you close them, and only stuff you currently have permissions to shows when you reopen.

Thanks for posting that; it helped me when I came upon a similar problem of not being able to get rid of a shared calendar completely and re-add it.
