Events in New Outlook can not be edited, deleted, or created - events sent by others cannot be accepted.

This problem is solely with the calendar with no other features appearing to be impacted. Whether the event has invited attendees or is solely meant for the personal calendar it will pop up with the same error message of " Something went wrong. We couldn't save your calendar even. Waiting a bit might help. Keep your calendar event open to try again later. Resume editing"

Waiting a bit does not help, nor does trying to resume editing. It's been 2 full straight work days and I keep getting this error when making or editing an event. If I try to delete an event it just reappears a moment later.

I have tried clearing the outlook cache, restarting the computer, going to settings>apps>installed apps>outlook and repairing, resetting, and terminating. Web outlook for the new outlook refuses to synch to the desktop app and so does not work as a workaround.

I did not create this email so I don't have admin abilities to do anything that requires permissions and there is no one in the office with the permissions either. Using classic outlook is also not an option because like I said I don't have admin permissions and its just full of popups if I try to open it.

The only thing that has shown some promise is going to outlook settings>accounts>manage IMAP>remove>remove from this device>uninstalling outlook>redownloading outlook from Microsoft store>logging in with IMAP.

When I do this I am able to edit, delete, create, and invite attendees to events but only for 20 minutes and then the error starts up again and it's just not realistic to go through that entire process EVERY TIME an event needs to be made or edited.

As of 11/13/2024: After more than a week of this issue an update appears to have been released and things seem to be working so far after I did this

-->

On the bottom ribbon of your computer you'll see a magnifying glass and a tab that says search. Click that and type: "Check for Updates"

Which will open the Windows Update page in your settings and the update will likely be there in which case your can click the restart button.

I updated and my Outlook seems to be working as normal again with editing, deleting, and creating events.

    Where the hell is MS on this?

    Is it not bad enough that MS released this product (New Outlook) with a statement that it is not yet fully functional and won't be for some time.

    What kind of BS is that????

    Is MS listening?

    After what appears to be hundreds of complaints about the same issue, why is MS not on here addressing this?

    What am I paying for with my annual fee???

    Using a shared calendar is vital for my work. I use gmail and imap and this lack of correct functiionality has led me to change Edge to Chrome and use the extension button on Chrome to give access to my gmail calendar. All very frustrating. I tried all the alleged fixes first to no avail and so MS have shot themselves in the foot and driven me away from their product to Google. Maybe they should sort this out before they lose too many more customers. By the way, the workaround using Chrome really does the job! Thanks for nothing Microsoft.
