Calendars
After e-mail migration, the 2 most common options for the state in which a user's calendar will be accessible are:- The user did not have an active @cvut.cz mailbox before the migration:
- in this case, the original calendar will be available as the standalone default calendar
- Before the migration, the user had an active @cvut.cz mailbox (he didn't have to use it or had it active just for MS-Teams):
- here the original calendar is usually available as an additional calendar, which is disabled by default
- to make the original calendar visible, just turn this one on
- the situation is complicated by the fact that the original and the new calendar have the same name
- the user can combine the original and the new calendar into one (the new one), for which Microsoft recommends the desktop version of Outlook
