I currently use two Outlook addresses regularly :
My.Name@MyWorkplace
My.Name@FamousPIM
The latter is my personal email. Is there a way I can have the events planned in both calendars visible in one place ? It would make it easier and quicker for me to plan both my professional and personal meetings.
It can easily be done in Google accounts, so I’ll go out on a limb and say it can also be done in outlook, but as I don’t currently use outlook, that’s all I got.
I did find this if it helps:
" How do I sync all my Outlook calendars?
Navigate to your account within Settings. Then, tap Sync Calendars. Two-way calendar export is supported for Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, and hybrid modern authentication for on-premises mailboxes."
Involving Google in anything Outlook-related is a recipe for confusion and disaster. For whatever reasons, the two outfits refuse to play nice. I strongly suggest the OP not start down that rabbit hole
It is trivial to configure the Outlook program to display both calendars side by side. Or overlapped so you see e.g. Monday with items from both calendars on the same timeline from morning to night.
So I’m a bit mystified how the OP is not already seeing exactly what they want. Are you using the Outlook program on a PC, the Outlook program on a phone of some kind (which kind?), some other phone app (which?), or are you using the outlook.com website and a browser?
What is “famouspim”? The email addresses you’ve given aren’t in the format of a correct email address which must have at least 2 parts separate by a dot to the right of the “@”.
All of these.
Hotmail.
The workplace one has my company’s name followed by the country initials.
Ok, now I have enough data to offer some broad brush outlines of a solution. Thank you
On each of your apps / programs you should be able to add your e.g. hotmail account and your employer’s account as separate sources of mail / calendar / contacts / etc. And be able to configure the app(s) so you’re logged into both sources at once. Once you’ve done that, both calendars will appear to be selectable and can be displayed side by side or overlaid.
And of course any entry you make into either calendar on one device will quickly propagate to the same calendar as displayed on all the other devices. Because the “real” calendar is in the cloud and each device is simply echoing that single central reality.
If your true goal is that anything you enter on your personal calendar auto-cross-populates into the corporate one and vice versa, so both calendars contain all your appointments, … well … that’s not going to happen. By design.
The best you can do is arrange the UI to show you both calendars blended on one screen, but with each calendar’s contents separate from the other calendar(s) and color-coded differently.
I suspect as much but now I know for sure.
That’s very clear, thanks a lot.
I’ve kept two calendars for years: my work one, residing in Exchange; and my personal one, residing in a .PST, with both displayed side-by-side in the Calendar view.
When I make a personal appointment, I copy it to the work calendar, marking it Private, and (typically) with more time blocked off before and after, so folks don’t schedule me right up to the time of the appointment. The personal one has no reminder set and just covers the expected time of the appointment.
This is a bit clunky in that downloaded .ics files always go into the work calendar, and then I have to copy them to personal, but since I want to tinker with the timespan anyway, this isn’t a big deal.
A slightly bigger problem is that my wife doesn’t use Outlook, and her mail client can’t handle TNEF. So I have to make sure to forward appointments from the personal calendar so they’re in the right format. And that’s occasionally flaky–I’ve learned to notice when the “Forward as iCalendar” fills in my work email address by default, and to cancel that and repeat. That’s an Outlook bug for sure, since doing the exact same thing changes the result!
