Actually my Outlook 98 Calendar shows up with everything else under the
sun. If I enter the group, the articles are simply the "subject" of the
appointment entries. There is nothing in the body. I assume this has to
do with the fact that the format of appointments is different from
messages. Has anyone found the standard for how these things are
described. Unfortunately, the date associated with each entry is when it
was made, rather than the date of the appointment. Contacts are the same,
as Nathan noted. Notes look just like regular ole message entries.
By the way, most of my existing folders have spaces in their names and Gnus
is happy to read them. Now I just need to figure out if it is possible to
"rename" the display name of a group. The names that
I tried to set my Gcc to "nnimap+Work:Sent Items" and Gnus was not terribly
happy, although a copy of the message did arrive. I've got the same
problem with moving/copying articles too. I get an error when I do it, but
the article actually gets copies. (I don't think move worked at all.)
