Outlook can display your inbox and calendar in separate windows, making it easier to manage email and scheduled work at the same time.

Open the Calendar in a New Window

Right-click the Calendar icon and choose Open in New Window. Arrange the calendar beside your inbox or move it to another monitor. You can then drag an email onto a date and time to create a calendar appointment containing the email subject and message.

Key Takeaways

• Keep your inbox and calendar visible together.
• Drag an email directly onto the calendar to schedule time for it.
• Cancel the invitation when the appointment is only a personal reminder.
• Remove the original email after saving the calendar item to reduce inbox clutter.
