Windows phone and calender problem

Clive T · 5 Dec 2014, 04:30 PM

I have a problem using the calendar via my Windows 8.1 phone logging in to fastmail.com.

If I even touch the list of appointments the list scrolls madly out of control by itself and won't stop. The only way to restore sanity is to kill the process.

I've tried every browser available - same issue. Mail and contacts work fine.

This is annoying because I'm having to use outlook.com on this phone for my schedule - and that means duplicating my calendars because I can't seem to find a way of synchronising that account with my FastMail one.

Did you try this?

Yup. Just tried again multiple times. No import into FM.

I've noticed that the outlook.com calendar has a significant lag in updating/syncing. I'll give it a few hours before coming back here!

My opinion: either get rid of the Windows phone or get rid of FastMail. The two just aren't going to work well together.

Still using my Windows Phone - Fastmail not on it now.

Confirmed. WP8.1/IE11.
The browser is in FastMail recognized as Netscape 5.

Thanks, Berenburger. I hope FM can sort this out in due course because I really dislike the ugly outlook.com calendar.

Made an official support request.
