Outlook 97, XP and 2003 can only share calendars through MS Exchange server.
Outlook 98 and 2000 included "shared folders" which enbaled sharing based on
emails generated to sync the calendars. Because this exact system is the
best virus carrier around, it was removed after outlook 2000.

In short, if you use Outlook 98 (the free upgrade to Outlook97) or Outlook
2000 you CAN use the mailserver of the Qube to use the shared folders based
synchronisation.

If you have large calendars (over 4 Mb, or say 10.000 items) you will find
the synchronisation to fail frequently forcing a re-sync with several
hundreds of mails being created and send. Not a very stable, or secure
system.
