Dealing with calendar email

Exchange generates email for each new meeting, each change to a meeting and each response to a meeting. We recommend that you set up rules on your account to filter calendar emails into a folder and keep them out of your inbox.

Use the Global Address List (GAL)

When scheduling meetings, you should always click on the To button to open the Exchange Global Address List and choose the recipients from the list. This will ensure that your message is directed to their Exchange account. Addresses you see in the To list when you start to type are remembered in an Autocomplete cache which can be out of date.
