Outlook 2007: Free/Busy information is not available when Outlook 2007 delivers Exchange e-mail to a .pst file

SUPPORT SOLUTION:
When you configure Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to deliver your e-mail directly to a .pst file, other users in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment cannot view your availability (Free/Busy) information. This also occurs for users of Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access..This behavior is by design. By default, Outlook 2007 tries to retrieve a user’s Free/Busy data only from the Availability Service. For accounts on an Exchange server Mailbox, Outlook 2007 does not search for the information in a Schedule+ Free/Busy message on a public folder..There are two methods to work around this issue.

.Method 1: Set Exchange as the default delivery location
2, ‘workaround’);

The recommended method is to make sure that the Free/Busy data is available across the Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 organization. To do this, you must set the default delivery location for Exchange e-mail to the Exchange server Mailbox.
To do this, follow these steps:

Start Outlook 2007
On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
Click the E-mail tab.
Select your SMTP address. It will have the type Microsoft Exchange or Exchange.
On the E-mail toolbar, click Set as Default, and then click Close.
Restart Outlook 2007.
.Method 2: Force Outlook 2007 to use legacy behavior
