Unable to save new calendar events.

Question

Until today I was able to make new entries on my calendar but now I get a message" Something went wrong. We couldn't save your calendar event. Waiting a bit might help. Keep your calendar event open to try again later." I have restarted my computer with no result. I have waited a bit, as in several hours, with no luck. When I recorded the event on another computer using Outlook 2019 it saved on that computer but nowhere else. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have had exactly the same problem trying to delete or enter messages for the last few days. I receive exactly the same error messages after trying to edit my Calendar...

The identical problem has happened to me. The event will show as entered but disappear within a second and the "Something went wrong . . ." msg pops up. And, when I now try to delete an event, it disappears for a second and reappears with an error msg. The crucial functioning of new outlook's calendar is not working properly. A fix is required ASAP!
