Outlook 2003

Outlook 2003 does not support live iCal feeds coming into it, but you can import an iCal file of events into it by first exporting your website calendar to an iCal .ics file. This would bring in only events currently on the calendar, future events added would need to be exported/imported again.

  1. On your website calendar, click the Export icon and select Export iCal (after selecting desired calendar(s) and date range for export)

  2. Save the file to your desktop.
  3. In Outlook, go to the File menu and click Import and Export.
  4. Click Import an iCalendar or vCalendar file (.vcs), then click Next.
  5. Locate the .ics file you want to import.
  6. In the Files of type list, choose either iCalendar Format or vCalendar Format.
  7. Click OK.
