OX Webmail Calendar

When moving to Open X-Change webmail, you must migrate your existing email calendars. To understand how to do this, or how this migration impacts your existing calendar set up, please click on the type of calendar you have and see our instructions. If you need longer to migrate your calendar, please let us know immediately and we can hold off on closing down your old accounts.

OLD Webmail Calendar (Rackspace)

Rackspace Webmail will NOT allow you to export a calendar. If you use your Rackspace Calendar, you will need to manually add your calendar entries to a new third-party calendar app. We recommend using the Open X-Change (NEW Webmail) Calendar.

If you need more time to move over your Rackspace Calendar once the migration is complete, please call us on 01243 913 913 or email us at support@toolkit.uk and we can give you some more time before your old email account is deleted.


Importing a Calendar from a file

If you use a third-party calendar, such as Outlook, you can export your calendar to a CSV or other file, and then import it to be used in Open X-Change Webmail. Please see the steps below for importing your calendar once you have a CSV or other file:

1:
In OX Webmail, click on the "3 lines" (hamburger) menu in the top left.


2:
Click "Calendar"


3:
Next, click the Cog icon in the top right.


4.
Next, choose "Import File" .


7.
Click "Upload file" and choose the calendar file in your file explorer.

Then, give your calendar a name and click import.


Subscribing to a Calendar with iCAL sync.

If you have a calendar hosted with a third-party, you can subscribe to the calendar with an iCAL URL. This will allow you to see a live feed of the calendar. Follow the steps below to subscribe to an iCAL Calendar.

1:
In OX Webmail, click on the "3 lines" (hamburger) menu in the top left.


2:
Click "Calendar"


3:
Next, click the Cog icon in the top right.


4:
Choose "Import from URL (iCAL)"


5:
Finally, paste in your iCAL URL and click Subscribe .


Import/Export from Outlook

When the migration is complete, removing your account from Outlook to set it back up with the new server details will DELETE your Outlook calendar. If you have an Outlook Calendar associated with the email account, you will need to back it up and then import it again once the new account is set up.

For further support doing this, please contact Outlook or a Microsoft Outlook IT specialist so you can ensure your calendar is migrated over without issue. If you need more time to do this, let us know immediately and we can give you more time to migrate over.
