We just installed Outlook 2024 (Microsoft Home & Business 2024) and setup two IMAP email accounts.
We are now trying to import our contacts and calendar .pst files that were exported to an external drive from Outlook 2021.
To import a calendar in Outlook 2024 we have:
- Clicked on File;
- Clicked on Open & Export;
- Clicked on Import/Export;
- Selected “Import from another program or file” and clicked Next;
- Selected “Outlook Data File (.pst) and clicked Next;
- Selected the .pst file to import, chose Replace duplicates with items imported and clicked next; and
- In “Import Outlook Data Files” selected the default folder “Outlook Data Files”, “Include subfolders”, “Import items into the same folder in:” selected the primary email account, and clicked Finish.
The problem we are experiencing is that the downloads appear as Outlook emails with the calendar data – not calendar entries.
And when I go into the calendar it is empty.
I have done an extensive web search for instructions on how to import a calendar but the online instructions have all resulted in failure.
Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?
