SYMPTOMS

If a delegate copies a calendar locally that is owned by another user, the delegate can view details of the calendar owner's private appointments and meetings.

MORE INFORMATION

The Outlook client is designed to filter appointments that are marked private, so that only the intended creator or recipient can view a private appointment in the calendar. This filtering process prevents delegates from viewing the contents of private items that are intended for the original creator or recipient only. After a delegate copies the calendar, the Outlook client ignores this sensitivity property, and the private items in the calendar are displayed for the delegate.
