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

One thing that worked for me is to SUBSCRIBE to the calendar, rather than opening it directly. You can upload the .ics file somewhere, and then copy the link into Agenda -> Add Agenda -> Subscribe via Internet.

With a Mac the only method that works as I showed about a year ago, is to download the ICS file, the LOG INTO THE CLOUD version, and import THERE - that will work, it wont work on the desktop client.

Support memeber is answering question for WRONG OUTLOOK VERSION. AS MOST DONT EVEN REALIZE OUTLOOK (NEW) REPLACES MAIL AND CALENDER. AND NOT THE SAME AS OUTLOOK (OFFICE/365 or classic).. THERE IS NO RULE ASSOC THAT WORKS WHEN DOUBLE CLICKING OR OPENING FROM FILE EXPLORER ETC. THAT METHOD DOES NOT LET YOU SELECT THR CALANDER TO IMPORT TO. (GRAYED OUT) SO YOU CANT SELECT IMPORT BUTTON AS IT REMAINS GREYED OUT UNTIL YOU SELECT A CALENDAR (WHICH YOU CAN'T) THESE GUYS ARE NO HELP.

This was the only solution that worked for me. Thanks!

Cannot import .ics file into Outlook (new) app

Hi,

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

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.
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
