Microsoft
Outlook 2003
Microsoft Outlook 2003 does not offer built-in
calendar synchronisation, so if you would like to enjoy this
functionality you need to install a third party plug-in. The plug-in
name is called RemoteCalendars (http://remotecalendars.sourceforge.net/)
and as the author states it is intended to work with the 2003 version
of MS Outlook. The installer can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/remotecalendars/files/.
The archive contains three different setup files, two being a
prerequisite updates for Outlook and third being the installer for the
calendar plug-in.
You will need to consult the included readme
file for detailed instructions on how to install and set-up calendars in
MS Outlook using the plug-in.
