Tap Attendees, then tap Add Required Attendee or Add Optional
Attendee and add the contacts whom you want to invite.
Note You can specify if an attendee is required or optional only if your device is
connected to a Microsoft Exchange 2007 server. Otherwise, all attendees are
designated as required. For more information, see “Managing Meeting Requests”
in Chapter 7.
4. When you have finished adding attendees, tap Done.
5.
Tap OK to send.
Tip To choose the email account to use for sending meeting requests, tap Menu > Tools
> Options > Appointments tab. Tap the Send meeting requests via box and choose
to send via your Outlook E-mail, POP3/IMAP4 or Windows Live™ account.
Notes • If you’re sending the meeting request using your Outlook E-mail account, it will
be sent to the attendees the next time you synchronise your device with your
computer or Exchange Server.
• When attendees accept your meeting request, the meeting is automatically
added to their schedules. When their response is sent back to you, your calendar is
updated as well.
To send appointment details as a vCalendar
A vCalendar is a standard file format used for exchanging scheduling and task
information. vCalendar files can be exported to Outlook on the computer.
After selecting the appointment to send in the Calendar screen, tap Menu >
Send as vCalendar to send a vCalendar containing appointment details as a file
attachment in an MMS message. For more information, see “MMS” in Chapter 6.
