Calendaring FAQ

How do I change my calendar's time interval?

Typically, Outlook defaults to a 30-minute time scale.  If you'd like to change this, please visit Change the calendar time scale in Outlook for instructions

How do I change the default meeting reminder time?

When you schedule a meeting, Outlook sets a 15-minute reminder by default.

You can change the reminder time when setting up a specific meeting, but if you'd like to change the reminder time for all future meetings, please visit Change the default reminder time for instructions.

How do I change which day is the first day of the week?

By default, the Outlook calendar defaults to Sunday as the start of the week. To customize this, please review the examples at Change how you view your Outlook calendar.

Why do calendar invites I receive disappear after I respond?

Outlook usually sends meeting requests to the Deleted Items folder when you respond to a meeting request. To change this setting and keep your meeting requests:

• Click the File tab, then Options, and then select Mail.

• Under the Send messages heading, make sure the Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding checkbox is not selected.

• Click the OK button to close the dialog box.
