Public Folder Calendar Creation
We use basic public folder calendars for a number of things. These were originally hosted on on-prem Exchange, and are now on Exchange Online. I normally create them in Outlook, and select 'calendar...
Thanks - is there any other way to create public folder calendars or will it effectively become impossible when old Outlook is retired?
You can also use the EWS API... though that's also going away.
Unfortunately we don't have in-house expertise to write an app to use the API.
And if that's going as well, will there literally be no way to create public folder calendars once old Outlook is retired (assuming they don't add the capability to the new version)?
Thanks
I cannot speak on behalf of Microsoft, but they have been telling us for years (heck, over a decade now) that Public folders are (eventually) going away. So I wouldn't be surprised if they do decide to not supported them (eventually) in the new Outlook. But customer's demand and feedback is what drives such decisions, which is why I gave you the link to the Feedback portal above - check out the existing threads on PF support or create a new one and share your thoughts directly with the product team.
