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 have three computers synced. On one computer uninstalled outlook. Reverts back to old mail and calendar. Calendars on other computers with outlook have appointments.

    Honestly, this whole process and workaround is garbage. The fact that something this simple doesn't work is a shinning example of how rolling out new features and fully replacing things like Outlook and Teams, saying it is NEW and IMPROVED is absolute garbage. I am going to move everything to Google Calendar because that at least works.

    I dont like handing Google all my data, the Apple Cal is a/ bad b/ specific to Apple, Outlook just never seems to do anything properly, in despair.

    Messages get lost in threads, one of my accounts has about 40 rules to get rid of the spam as it seems Microsoft can't although I report each and everyone, and I cant even move ICS files.

    Sigh.

    I am having the same issue as others. Clicking on Add Calendar does not show anyplace to import. Clicking on and opening New Outlook brings up a screen with nothing under the Select A Calendar dropbox. The Import button is greyed out. The Browse function does allow me to select the ics file. The Old Web Outlook was able to import the ICS file.
