     If you’re using your keyboard to navigate in the Calendar, press Enter.
   • In the main Calendar view or in the Calendar Panel, click and drag to set the event’s time and length first. After releasing the mouse button the event editor will open.
   • Type “New Calendar Event” in Quick Commands.
   • Highlight some text on a web page and select Add as Calendar Event from the right-click context menu.
   • Right-click on a message in the Mail list or on the open message itself, select Add to Calendar, and whether to add the message as an event, task, or invite.
2. In the event editor you can add the following information to events:
   • Title, description and notes about the event.
   • Start and end time and options to convert the event into an all day event and change time zone for the event.
   • Option to convert the event into a task.

   • Make the event recur at chosen intervals.
   • Link to additional information about the event.
   • Set browser alarms to notify you about the event at the event time and/or before.
   • Invite participants to the event.
     Invitations are sent via email and for that you need to have set up a mail account in the mail client.
   • Change, to which calendar the event belongs to.
3. When you’re finished filling in the information about the event, click Done or press Enter.

Share an event

First, make sure you’ve set a mail account for Calendar in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Integration > Calendar Mail Account, which will be used to send event invitation emails.

To invite participants to an event, in the event editor:

1. Add the invitees’ email addresses to Participants.
2. Click Done or press Enter to save the event.
3. Choose whether you want to send the participants an email about the event. It’s also possible to include a message to the email.
4. If you choose to send a message to the participants, the invitee will then get an email, where they can accept or decline the invitation.
5. If they choose to share their attendance status with you, you’ll get a reply email. In the email message, click on Update Event in Calendar to update the participant’s status.

In Settings > Calendar > Calendar integration > Send Invite Email Message, you can choose whether to:

• Always send a message to participants.
• Never send a message to participants.
• Or ask you every time.
