Private meeting requests are not forwarded to delegate

An Outlook delegate that is configured to receive meeting requests from the mailbox owner does not receive meeting requests that are marked with a "private" sensitivity.

When you click the Delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me check box, or the Send meeting requests and responses only to my delegates, not to me check box, the Forward Meeting Request rule that is created to forward these messages is designed to not forward private meetings.

To ensure that the delegate receives all meetings requests, do not mark these meetings with a "private" sensitivity.

In Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, in Microsoft Outlook 2002, and in Microsoft Outlook 2000, a delegate can view private items in the mailbox owner's calendar if the Delegate can see my private items check box is selected. To select this option, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the Delegates tab.

The Delegate can see my private items option is a new feature in Outlook 2000. It does not include meeting requests that are marked as private.
