Common questions
Why does it say I do not have sufficient storage to create an event?
Your mailbox storage quota is full, and the calendar uses the same space. Delete some mail or files, or ask your administrator for more space, then save the event again.
How do I change an event later?
Double-click the event to open it, make your changes and click Save. To move it, you can also drag it to another slot.
