Sending Calender Meeting Invites no longer working with Hotmail account

[ Edited ]

BlackBerry 9700

v6.0.0.461

 

I use Hotmail email

 

I think this started to fail when I upgraded to the new OS. When I create a new Calender appointment, it no longer shows up in my hotmail calender. If I invite attendees, all they get is a blank email, they no longer get a proper meeting request in their Outlook inbox.

 

However, if they send me a meeting invite, it is properly recognized on my blackberry.

 

As best I tried scouring the internet looking at various BB forums, I went into options and deleted my Hotmail email account on the phone. I set it up again and it does not fix the problem.

 

As far as I can tell, my hotmail account is a now typical account that has pop3 access.

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT: I removed the Hotmail account and added a GMail account. The GMail account workes totally fine with meeting invites. Also, after the creation of the GMail account, there is now a second inbox icon on my BB home screen. This icon is an envelope like the original one but also has a graphic of the world over-layed on top of it that resembles the Browser icon.

 

However.... my real problem remains... I need this to work with my Hotmail.com address.

Hello,

Try going to options-Device- Advanced system settings-Default Services. What are the services here? Make sure all are set to hotmail.com

Thank you

Thank you for replying.

 

Yes I confirmed they are set to hotmail. Currently I have both Gmail and hotmail connected. Gmail, meeting appointments show up correctly - even in the hotmail inbox - and other peoples' inboxes. Hotmail still does not work.

Today I noticed that this same thing is happening to me, but with the GMail account... From the other four accounts works fine, but when the appointment is to Google Calendar, the "Atttedees" box dissapears!
