SYMPTOMS

When you try to view another person's calendar using the Microsoft Exchange Client or Outlook Client, the following error message occurs:

Unable to display the folder. The calendar folder could not be found.


CAUSE

This error is a permission problem with the other user's calendar folder. Permission to view or read another user's folder is optional.

NOTE: By default there are no permissions.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

  1. In the Microsoft Exchange or Outlook Client, click the user's Calendar folder.


  2. Go to the Properties page of this folder either by right-clicking on the folder or through the File menu.


  3. Choose the Permissions tab to view current permissions. By default you will see the name "Default" with a Role of "none." If the role for Default is modified, it sets the permissions for everyone with access to a Microsoft Exchange or Outlook Client to view the calendar.



MORE INFORMATION

This permission problem is the same for all Microsoft Outlook folders, such as the Inbox, Contacts, Tasks, Journal, and Notes folders.
