I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious, but how do you set the default calendar in entourage. Right now it is the 'on my computer' one but I want it to be the exchange one. Thanks.

The default calendar is the one of the default e-mail account.
For a POP or IMAP account, it will be the On My COmputer one. You need
to set the Excahnge account as the default.

Thanks for this, I suspected as much but hoped for otherwise. I use a different imap account for my email and exchange just for calendar.

Is there any way around this in Entourage? I've been searching like crazy for a solution too. In Outlook 2007, you can set Exchange as the default calendar and set a local email (POP, IMAP) for default mail. Would love to do this and start using Entourage but it's basically useless for me if it doesn't allow you to set defaults. Hope there's a fix for this.

In Entourage the default calendar is linked to the default mail account.

For POP/IMAP mail accounts set to default, the default calendar will be
the one under 'on my computer'. Fpr Exchange accounts, it will be the
first calendar in the exchange account

Further question on similar topic. I have 5 email accounts set up in Entourage - one on an Exchange server and 4 POP accounts. Even though I have Exchange as the default calendar, if I get calendar invites on one of the POP email addresses, they show up on my "On My Computer" calendar, and NOT on the Exchange calendar (so I wind up having to drag and drop the appointments from one calendar to the other, which is not a good long-term solution). The whole point of my Exchange calendar is to have all my appointments on one calendar. Any solutions so that all incoming meeting requests / calendar items, regardless of email account in which they arrive, go to the Exchange calendar? Thanks. -Sean

Hi Sean!

If you have an answer or comment for the original poster then please
respond within that thread. Otherwise, if you're looking for a solution
to your own problem -- no matter how similar to someone else's -- then
begin your own thread. Similar problems may not have the same solutions.

You're correct that POP and IMAP calendar events get accepted onto the
Calendar "On My Computer". I have no idea if this would be considered a
bug or by design. Your only solution for now is to continue to drag your
non-Exchange events to your Exchange calendar.

Please be sure to let Microsoft know you'd like to see this feature in
future versions by using the Help --> Send Feedback mechanism in any
Office application.
