how do I save a calendar event -- when I try, an alert says "someting went wrong" Problem just started yesterday

Hi All,

Update: The issue with adding calendars in New Outlook has been resolved in the latest version.

If you are still experiencing issues, please go to Settings > General > About Outlook and check if your Outlook version matches the following:

• Microsoft Outlook version 1.2024.1107.100 (Production)
• Client version 20241101001.35
• WebView2 version 130.0.2849.80

Thank you very much for your active feedback on this issue.

Hi All,

Update: The issue still persists, but we have found a temporary solution.

Add another email account (any account will do) and set this new email account as the primary account.

You can do this by clicking the gear icon in the top right corner, going to Settings > Accounts > Manage, and selecting "Set as Primary Account." We recommend adding a Microsoft account, as the calendar function for Microsoft accounts is currently working properly.

When your email is not the primary account, you should be able to save calendar events successfully.

You can submit your issue through Help > Feedback at the top. Thank you very much for your contribution.

Having same problem, major issue given how I use the calendar for everything + setting up calls

Any update?

Hello Richard Munson,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are unable to add events to the New Outlook calendar.

Recently, many users have reported the same issue. According to their feedback, they encountered problems when using non-Microsoft email accounts. Some users mentioned that after re-adding the account, they were able to add events for a short period, but the issue persisted afterward.

You can submit your issue through Help > Feedback. Thank you very much for your contribution.

I will share any updates with you if there is any progress.
