You can go on a fishing expedition using mdbvue32 utility which is always
fun.  Would have been a piece of cake after you exported everything else to
find and eliminate the bad appointment.  I had to go digging through one
that would only get about a third of the way through an export before
hanging the client (guess I should have tried exmerge but it didn't occur to
me at the time).  Good luck.

Subject: RE: Best way to clean up corrupt calendar folder? (on server)


I downloaded the publicly available cdo.dll (as instructed by the bb server
install readme) and also got PSS to email me a newer unreleased cdo.dll (per
rim's instructions).  Neither of these helped the calendar access problem.
I'll search around for the old exchange client and give it a try.  I have
another user with different calendar issues I can try it on (the keep
getting unable to update free/busy errors all several times a day).

This is when the old Exchange Client comes in handy. You could have exported
the calendar to a PST and then deleted the calendar folder. The next time
you started OL, one would have been created.

It also sounds like you need the CDO hotfix for Exchange. BB support should
be able to help with that.

I had one user who could not syncronize her calendar over the air with her
blackberry.  The errors in the event log basically said that the CDO stuff
could not access the calendar.  Email was forwarding just fine.  After
trying all sorts of things on the blackberry server, I finally created a new
mailbox (with a different username) and synced the blackberry up with that
(the calendar worked fine).

I then exported everything from the user's mailbox to a PST file (so I could
delete the mailbox and create a new one just like it).  After exporting all
the mailbox contents I tried deleting everything from the calendar folder
(by using view by category and deleting everything).  After doing only that
(i.e. not yet creating a new mailbox) the blackberry still would not sync
with the calendar (over the air).  The calendar appeared completely empty
from an outlook 2000 client.  When I tried via OWA there was an appointment
still showing up in the calendar (yikes).  

After deleting the mailbox and creating a new one with the same alias and
email address, the old data was imported from the PST and the blackberry
syncs up fine now.

My only question was if there was some better way of fixing the calendar
short of what I did.  I had tried all of the /cleanfreebusy /cleanreminder
/cleanshedplus options in outlook with no improvement.
