Intermedia Makes Outlook For Mac
I am trying to figure out an issue for a client of mine. They are using BPOS Exchange, switched from Intermedia, and have multiple email domains.
Everthing works fine for all the Windows Outlook users and many share Outlook calenders. However they have one user with a recent Mac desktop running Outlook 2011 for Mac. She can logon and get email fine but can not acess shared calendard to a user in a different domain that she has permissions to acces the Outlook calendars. I created an Outlook profile for her on a Windows computer and can access the shared calendars just fine but not on her Mac. She used to be able to access the shared Outlook calendars when they were using Intermedia using Entourage on her Mac. Then she could not access them with Entourage with BPOS and then installed Outlook thinking that would work and it did not help. At first I thought it was an autodiscover DNS record problem because whenever I tried configuring Outlook on her Mac to access the shared clendar for a user I always got a warning that do you want to allow Intermedia server to make changes.

Well I found out that they never took out the old Intermedia autodiscover Cname records and put the proper ones in for BPOS. Well I corrected that over a week ago and checked that nslookup on a Windows computer resolved to the proper BPOS server when looking up autodiscover.domainname.com which shows autodiscoverredirect-red001.mail.microsoftonline.com. However when I try to access a shared Outlook calendar again after the DNS changes the Mac computer still warns about letting Intermedia server make a change and says user does not have access to calendar. The Mac computer has been rebooted. I don't know why it continues to think that Intermedia servers should do configuration.

Any ideas what the problem might be why I can not help this Mac user with Outlook 2011 access shared Outlook calendars or what to try??
By When you open Outlook 2011 for Mac, the program is in Mail view. While Outlook 2011 for Mac is running, you can always see how many unread e-mail messages you have by glancing at Outlook’s dock icon and looking for the number bubble. Even when you press Command-Tab to switch applications, you see the bubble. Outlook also tells you how many unread messages you have in a folder or Inbox in the folder pane: Viewing the default Mail view in Outlook 2011 for Mac Outlook 2011 introduces two new concepts to viewing your mail. The default view has both of these features turned on. Grouped Folders: Notice the organization of the folders. In this new arrangement, immediately beneath the Inbox you find On My Computer.
If you have more than one account in your Identity, folders with similar names are grouped together. Arranged by Conversations: Messages are arranged by threaded conversations, meaning that all the messages regarding the same subject are grouped together. The default view setting is for message bodies to be displayed to the right of the list of messages, with the newest message threads shown at the top of the message list, which lies between the folder list and the message body.
The subject of the message displays in bold if there are unread messages in the conversation. Messages that have been read are displayed in normal (not bold) font.
Switching to folder/subfolder arrangement in Outlook 2011 for Mac To use the traditional folder/subfolder arrangement for your folder list, you have only one setting to change. Choose Outlook→Preferences from the menu bar. In the Preferences dialog, find the Personal Settings group and click General.
Your local computer must have an IPv6 address and must be configured to use IPv6.
In the Folder List group, deselect the check box labeled Group Similar Folders, such as Inboxes, from Different Accounts. Notice that folders under the On My Computer heading (meaning they’re not on the server, but saved locally on your Mac) are now segregated from the Inbox in traditional folders with subfolders.
