Question

Working with multiple Outlook accounts, how can I change the account when accidentally using the wrong account when creating an event or meeting? Although the default calendar has been set, the account selection when creating a new event seems random, or is selecting the account related to the last used or clicked calendar item. Once the event is (quick) saved I am not able to change the calendar account, need to delete the old event and create a new one, carefully selecting the correct account.

Hi @Jeroen-3967 ,

Welcome to our forum!

Based on my test, i found that when we select several calendars and try to create a new calendar event, the event will be saved in the calendar where the calendar item was last saved, which reproduces your issue.

To save the calendar event to the correct calendar, i'm afraid that we need to select only the specific calendar and then create the calendar event.
