Back then, he recognized a glitch in Outlook/iCloud synchronization of CHANGES to reoccurring events. I have also noticed that any changes coming from Outlook (to both individual and reoccurring events) cannot be accepted on iPhone, because ‘mime-attachment.ics’ does not contain info for a changed event.

I have decided to re-install Win 7 64bit and my Office 2010, there have just been to many problems and glitches. I wish to copy all relevant Outlook 2010 files in order to enable me to paste them into my new installation of Outlook 2010. I will, once copied, format my C:\ drive then re-install. You may remember my posts of earlier this year! I need to make sure I have both profiles of my emails safe also my address book. I would also, if I can have a copy of my settings that I have applied. Are there any points I need to note in this guide as it seems to relate more for OL 2003 and XP to Win 7 whereas I am going from OL 2010 on Win 7 64 bit to OL 2010 on Win 7 64 bit. Hi Diane.

If a larger % of Outlook users actually used the features, they would not be planning on removing them from future versions. Development money goes into the features more people use - email, calendar, tasks, and contacts. (Admins have hated the journal since Outlook 97 introduced it.) Microsoft has not done a good job communicating their plans for activities and journal with their customers - actually, they haven't said anything. As a result, we have Microsoft Support saying its a bug and making people think/hope its going to be fixed. I have no such hope - I think we have a better chance of seeing improvements to the People Pane, although they haven't made any movement there either. I know that's not what you want to hear, but it's the unfortunate truth...
