Considering using Fastmail for Calendar

hjACFjf4B6 · 18 Jul 2018, 08:39 PM

I currently use Outlook 2016 (aka offline storage), and I like the To Do Bar on the right (in Outlook) that I can see while reading email. Does FastMail offer something similar? I have the 3 column reading pane view (folders, items, content), However, my screen is wide enough that there could be something on the right side.

I noticed a few threads about dealing with an outlook calendar. If I make Fastmail the "primary" calendar, is there a way for Outlook (desktop-Windows) to be a client/consumer of it?

Thanks

Peter

Yes, but no to-do list.

Yes. Make your Outlook calendar 'public' and subscribe to it in FastMail (CalDAV).

Well it turns Outlook really sucks when doing such online stuff. But Google Calendar seems to work great.

To FastMail:
* When I switch to Calendar view, the Browser favicon doesn't change.
* It would be great if In Overview could be defined as a default view.
* When "In Overview", the Right Hand side panel (Like Outlook To Do Bar) is GREAT.
Please consider making it available when in "Inbox" view.
* Allow configuration of the Side Panel for how many days to show, 5, 10, etc. or some variable number up to something.

Thanks!
