Cannot import .ics file into Outlook (new) app

THANK YOU! This issue has wasted far too much of my time, but your solution fixed the problem in about 30 seconds. So far, this new Outlook isn't worth the trouble...

So, bear in mind this is a true workaround so it is circuitous and annoying by nature....

1. Download the .ics file.
2. Create a new email in outlook to yourself.
3. Attach the downloaded .ics file.
4. Send to yourself. (Note about how annoying it is you have to do this optional.)
5. Open your new mail and click on the .ics attachment.
6. Click "+Add To Calendar" in the window that pops up.
7. Actually get notifications about your meetings...

Good luck.

Microsoft....please sort out this issue.

Hi,

Hmm, not sure why that option is missing in your outlook client.

Hi,

Click on the Calendar icon from the left pane, and click on "Add Calendar" there is an option "Upload from File". Please upload the .ics file there.

Hi, I tried this, but when in the "New Outlook", on the Calendar view there is no option to "Upload from File". The options that I see are "New event/Event" (which does not include the upload from file), "Day", "Work week", "Month", "Filter", and "Print". So the import option is missing in the Calendar view in the "New Outlook". I have taken a screen shot and provided the same of what I see. Thanks.

Think seriously if you want it.

I found out as per earlier post, it can only do ONE reminder for an event, whereas the Apple Calendar can do several at least, say 2 weeks before, 2 days before and an hour before. Not transferring my Cal to Outlook now, just too subfunctional.

If you are stuggling to do it, look at my post above, basically email ICS then open IN THE CLOUD ie outlook.com

Hope that helps.

Hi Microsoft.

The import .ics function to the "New Outlook" needs to be worked on and fixed as this work around is simply not very efficient.

Do you have a date when we can expect this feature to work?

Please.
