Any of you poor unfortunates use Outlook for booking meetings? (1 Viewer)

I have cancelled a meeting but it hasn't been removed from the room. The calendar no longer has the meeting but the room does. I don't have permission to delete the room meeting. Anyone know how I remove it?

We have our conference rooms in a separate folder in Outlook.

I usually just ask our office coordinator though. She's a fucking wizard.

Ask someone you fancy for help.

Did you book the room yourself in the first place?

This is a good question.

These are usually two separate operations for me.

Lets expand the thread to general outlook moaning.

How much space in outlook does your company give you and do you keep archives?

I have a measly 512mb but have every email since about 2009 archived.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I seem to have every email I ever sent or received right there

if I do a reverse received click, it shoots back to 2011 and my first project for the company

I'd be fucked if they started archiving shit

I don't do anything to organise my emails, neither personal nor work and I never delete anything. I bother people as a result.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I run out of space every month if I don't keep on top of archiving.

Currently.... 66.5mb free

 

[jonah]

Mine says 45.7GB free of 49.5GB.

WAAAAAA

Is the WHHAAA at the amount of space I have or the few emails? I feel like I get up to 50 a day, so it does seem small.

get on the phone to someone in IT that you exchanged pleasantries with years ago and annoy them until they sort it out for you. seems to be how shit gets done in the civil service.

The amount of space. I get about 20 emails a day at the moment.

On a bad day i get about a hundred though.

I'm much the same but we also mass email back and forth between friends in the office and that can add up to an extra 100

Fuck outlook.

We got 2 company wide "PLEASE STOP CLICKING REPLY TO ALL" email threads about a year ago.

This is a company of 30 thousand+ employees. Outlook gave up, it was hilarious.

Nope.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I have 13,627 items in my inbox

I emailed them instead.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Nope.

Well there you go. Only the person who books it can unbook it. My company lets you see who booked the room, although this was only implemented about a year ago.
