How do I import my old calendar in Outlook into New Outlook
If you just changed from classic Outlook to New Outlook, you might find your calendar is gone. This can happen for a few reasons. First, you most likely have IMAP setup for your email and in classic Outlook, it came with a (This Computer Only) calendar. That is a local to the computer only calendar, it is not in the cloud and doesn’t sync with the cloud. You will need to make some decisions here. If you want to do all of this yourself, then I have a YouTube video coming out soon that should be helpful. Since everyone has different calendar setups, it’s hard for me to do a video for everyone.
Decision #1 is find a calendar synching program that works with New Outlook. Microsoft Exchange, Outlook.com, Google Workspace/Gmail and iCloud are favorites.
Free? Outlook.com, Gmail and iCloud all will sync as of Nov 7, 2024
Microsoft Exchange and Google Workspace have a monthly subscription
Decision #2 is not use a calendar to sync with New Outlook. There are no IMAP email accounts that offer calendar (Outside of Gmail) that I know of. This also goes for contacts.
