Thanks Diane, Ive logged in to each account calendar and deleted the shared calendar and then set it up again. I'll need to wait for the changes to sync and then try again. If I still have problems I'll post on an outlook.com forum. As always thanks for your help.

My wife and I both use iPhones and have an Outlook.com premium mail account which allows it to be used with a custom domain. My wife has shared her outlook.com calendar with me and I have shared my outlook.com calender with her. This has worked fine for several years. Events display in each...

As always Diane thank you for your useful reply. When you say the email will only go to the shared email address do you mean the email account whose associated calendar I use to enter the events e.g. admin@xxxxxx.com? Similarly is a shared DL a distribution list? I can't see how to create a...

Hi I am looking for some suggestions for getting automated reminders for tasks. To give a little background, we are a charity and run a Community Hall in the UK. There are lots of things related to the hall that need reminders to prompt actions e.g. Fire Extinguisher Testing, Renewing Buildings...

Thank you Diane, This is in Outlook not Mac Mail and I don't have the gmail account configured on my phone. Im not sure what I can do to force invitations to go into the default calendar. That said as Office for Mac is now no longer receiving updates I think I'll install Office 365 and...

This subject has been raised an answered on Microsoft Forums but the settings differ on Office 2016 for Mac so im stuck. I have a number of exchange and IMAP accounts set up in Outlook with one of the Exchange accounts set as default. However many of the invites arrive on a Gmail account for...

Many thanks Diane. If I created a bespoke Birthday Calendar will it work in the same way e.g if you enter date of birth will it calculate age at next birthday? Or is that functionality only in default one which is linked to contacts? many thanks as always Foxzie

My wife and I both have Outlook.com Premium accounts using our own domain name. I have shared my calendar with my wife and she has shared her calendar with me. This works well however she does not see the default Birthday Calendar I have created from my contacts. I have tried to share it from...

A number of email hosting companies such as Inios offer 100Gb or shared "Pubic Folders" with an Exchange email account. Despite contacting Inios I still do not understand how this online storage can be accessed or used. I assume that this "Public Folder" appears in the Outlook Email client but...

As always many thanks Diane. I will go through your suggestions above. As a reult of the migration there will only be Exchange accounts configured in Outlook 2016 (365). All are either Outlook.com Premium or Hotmail/Live all of which now configure as exchange. The old POP and IMAP accounts I...

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for your assistance. Having set up the autodiscover CName in the DNS of my hosting company everything now works a treat. Many thanks Fozzie

Thanks Diane, Sorry for confusion. I manages to set up Outlook.com Premium accounts in Outlook 2010 and 2016 but cannot set up my old Live Domain accounts. However I think I know what the issue is. The outlook.com Premium accounts were set up with a Microsoft Domain hosted by them so presumably...

Hi Diane, As ever many thanks for your reply(s) although I think the second may have been meant for another poster :). The problem appears to be an Outlook 2010 issue. No matter what I try it comes up with error messages as per the attached. I managed to set up an Ex-Live account in Outlook...

Thanks Diane That's resolved it Fozzie

Please can someone clarify the current situation regarding Outlook.com free email accounts on the Office 365 platform. An article on Slipstick infers all Outlook.com accounts have now migrated? This appears to be correct as when I log in to my accounts online it says Outlook Email in the heading...

Sorry but couldn't find any contact details for Forum Admin/Moderator I am having trouble posting a question on this board as it keeps saying their is a sneaky URL!! I have even pasted the text into WordPad to take out any formatting but still get the same error message. Fozzie

As always many thanks for your comprehensive reply. Regarding the Outlook.com premium trial I am referring to an upgrade to the free Outlook.com email address where you can choose your own domain name and use it with up to 5 family accounts here Outlook.com Premium Its an upgrade to the...
