I found this may be helpful for some of you looking to add public folders/calendars/contacts to your Outlook if you are using Microsoft Exchange. I am not giving instructions on how to create them in your exchange control panel, just how to add them to Outlook.
I hope you find this valuable and if so, please keep me in mind for Outlook consulting. Thanks!
Look at the bottom left area of your Outlook. You might see “mail/calendar/contacts or people”, you need to open the view up for “folders” to do so, click on the navigation arrows options or “View list” (Outlook 2010) or ….
(dots) for Outlook 2013
View “navigation options”
You might see a screen like this, for now, max it out to 7 visible items. Click OK
Now you should see all options in the lower bottom of Outlook
Click on “Folders”
You should see a mailbox now in your regular Outlook folders list, called “Public folders”
If you do not, then restart your computer and launch Outlook, they should show up.
Open the folders and see the location you want to view in the calendars. Select that location calendar and right click on it and select “New calendar”
Name it the location and be sure to select in the folder contains box “calendar items”
Now you will see this calendar in your list.
Right click on the new calendar and find “add to favorites”
Name it the calendar of the location
Now go to your calendars and you should see it in the list of calendars. If not, you may need to start outlook/and computer, but I would give it a few minutes to show up.

You should see a “verifying” spinning at the top. If it does not verify, then start over. It’s very common for iPhones to need it setup one or two times for the server to connect. If asked to keep information on the iPhone or delete, you can keep it on the iPhone. If it will absolutely not connect, you can call
Once your account is added, we will set up your default calendar and contacts.
Set the default calendar to be the exchange you setup
Then check or uncheck the calendars you don’t want to view.
Dear readers,
If you are using Outlook for your email and using a Google calendar and have been successfully synchronizing your calendar from Google Calendar to Outlook, this feature will be turned off at the end of July, 2014 -unless you upgrade to their Google Apps at $5 per month. (see at the bottom of this blog the message from Google)
Many years ago, Google offered a free sync tool that worked quite well. At one point, they discontinued allowing downloads. If you haven’t got a new computer or needed to fix it, you could very well still be using it just fine. If you are one of these folks, this blog message is for you. For those that realized it was not a viable calendar synchronizing solution because they could not download the sync tool, I have helped many people move to 3rd party apps, iCloud or if they have a business branded email (.com), then we also have moved people to Microsoft Exchange (Which is included in Office 365 Business)
If you are not sure what to do, please call me for a consult.
Other options if you do not want full on Google Apps at $5 per month
I found this on a Google Support page
Google Calendar Sync, a Windows application that syncs events between your Google Calendar and your Microsoft Outlook calendar, is no longer supported. Almost two years ago, we announced that we ended support for Google Calendar Sync and on August 1, 2014 the application will stop syncing events.
We recommend that you uninstall the application on your computer and view your Google Calendar events using one of the other ways listed below.
Note: Directions for uninstalling may be different for your version of Windows.
Contact me if you need more information, or want to schedule an appointment for help.
