Outlook is a popular choice when it comes to communicating through emails. Be it individuals or big organizations, Outlook is widely used and accepted, mainly due to its unique and easy features. One of such features is Calendar, where you can schedule appointments and get a gentle reminder of your meetings and important events.
Recently a couple of users have complained about facing Calendar issues where the calendar appointments were missing. They have experienced that the appointments they have saved in their Outlook calendar are now gone and can’t be found anywhere. Well, in this blog, we are going to discuss this issue and provide a solution to it.
Why does it happen?
This problem happens when the user is also using Outlook on a mobile phone and sync settings are ON. The general settings in any email client are designed to maintain a proper balance between appointments and the space available on the device. Therefore, the settings are arranged in a way that the space should never be full for the new appointments. In this process the software keeps deleting the older appointments in order to keep space for new appointments. So, older appointments are deleted. When the appointments are deleted from the user’s phone, it is also deleted from the email service. Another reason can always be accidental deletion. In both the cases, the issue of missing appointments arises. In a blog, we are also recovering permanently deletd emails in Outlook, just in case if you require it.
