Cannot import .ics file into Outlook (new) app

Hi,

I am having several problems with my outlook (new) app.

  1. I cannot import .ics files into the app as no calendar is available in the "Upload from file" window. I have verified that Outlook (new) is the default for .ics files.
  2. I cannot sync my Outlook app calendar on my laptop with my Calendar app on my Iphone 10. I get an error message when I try to sync it via Icloud.

PS: I am using a gmail account for my outlook.

Any suggestions?

Best, Finn

    I am trying to move from the Apple Calendar to Outlook so I can stay synced to Teams and also the Mac Cal. just isn't good enough.

    I have exported the ICS file for the entire calendar as an ICS file (home.ics)

    When I try to file open from Outlook for Mac (Version 16.84.1 (24042118), or email to myself as in the suggestion, I get the same dialogue and message:

    Sorry we couldn’t import some of your file(s). Please try again later.

    Nothing seems to work. Monterey,

    This is very frustrating. I have tried different email accounts under Outlook and target calendars with the same result.

    I was able to do this by downloading the .ics, right clicking it in downloads, and choosing to open it with the old version of Outlook. It saved to a different calendar than the one I use with Outlook (new) but I was able to drag it over to the correct calendar. Not ideal, so hopefully it gets fixed soon because it's ridiculous that such a basic function of calendaring isn't possible.

    Took another look based on above, basically I only have one version of Outlook installed on my Mac, although I had both versions on my office IBM PC, so many thanks but still stuck!
