Note: All calendar events prior to June 1, 2007 will be purged on May 20, 2009. Users who wish to keep a record of calendar events from before June 1, 2007 should follow the instructions above to back up their data. In special circumstances, users may need access to this data from their PAWS calendars. These users may re-import their data after the purge on May 20, 2009. To do this, open your PAWS calendar, click on the OPTIONS tab and then click Import. Choose the calendar you wish to import in the left-hand box, and click the Add button to move it to the right-hand box. Choose a date range if you wish, or simply leave "export all events" selected. The import format should be the same as you used to export (normally iCal). Click the import button. Please do not re-import your data until after the purge on May 20, 2009.

One of the Options tab settings allows you to see a time scale for each calendar in your group for which a different time zone has been set.

You may see "mailto:" in front of email addresses for three reasons:

1. You entered it directly yourself.
2. The system put it in front of an email address you entered because the person is not in your calendar system. (Otherwise the email address would convert to a calendar ID.)
3. The person's calendar is not yet activated.

Yes. All calendars are created with default access of availability and invite. This means that you can invite people to your scheduled events and you can view their availability. You cannot, however, see the details of their calendars, only their availability.

Individuals can grant other PAWS users the right to view/change their calendars. To modify access rights to your own calendar, select the Calendars tab and locate your calendar in the list. Click the "Edit" link and then select the Permissions tab. Follow the instructions on this tab to add or remove other PAWS users' permissions to view and modify your calendar.

Yes. The Sun One sync utility allows users to synchronize the data entered in their PAWS calendar directly with Palm and PocketPC devices. While this software is freely available and in use by many users, there is the potential, in certain situations, for errors to occur resulting in loss of data. As such, not all PDA and computer platforms are supported. The utility is only supported on Windows 2000 and XP operating systems in specific configurations.

Note: Three-way synchronization between PAWS, your PDA and desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Palm Desktop, etc. is not supported or recommended.

This is usually caused by trying to edit all instances of a repeating event. There are two options to resolve the problem.

1. delete the event and re-create it (which will get rid of the error completely)

2. edit only one instance of the repeating event at a time
