SYMPTOMS

When you click the Calendar folder in Outlook Express after importing folders and messages from Microsoft Outlook, the Outlook Calendar does not open, and the folder only contains default Calendar instructions for use with Outlook.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Outlook Express does not support the Outlook Calendar tool. Because of this, when you import folders and messages from Outlook to Outlook Express, a folder named Calendar is created with the default Outlook Calendar instructions.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
