From the menu choose: Forward as iCalendar.From the Appointment or Meeting tab, click on the down arrow of the Forward button.In your Calendar, select your Appointment or Meeting that you want to save as an ics-file.You can drag & drop this attachment out of the message and into a File Explorer window or another message. This will create a new email messages with the selected Appointment or Meeting attached as an ics-file. The trick to create an ics-file of your Calendar item by drag & drop is to first select the Forward as iCalendar command. This is often still faster than choosing File-> Save As to save the Calendar item as an ics-file in the correct folder. However, with a few additional clicks, you can still use the drag & drop method to store Calendar items in the ics-format.
Unfortunately, you can’t change the default drag & drop behavior to save Calendar items as ics-files when dropped into a File Explorer window or another message. While this might make sense for saving emails, I’d rather save my Calendar items as ics-files.Ĭan I somehow change the drag & drop format for Calendar items to ics-files? When I drag and drop an Appointment or Meeting from my Calendar into a File Explorer window or another messages, this Calendar item is being saved as an msg-file.
