Default Calendar Reminder Outlook 2016

Click the file tab.

Default calendar reminder outlook 2016. To turn default reminders on or off for all new appointments or meetings under calendar options select or clear the default reminders check box. You will still receive notifications for events you may have set but an email message is also sent to your inbox. Select calendar in the left pane.

Set the default amount of time at which you want to receive reminders before new calendar items for example 15 minutes 30 minutes etc. Even when you change the default reminder time you still have the choice to specify a custom reminder time for each calendar item that you create. Under calendar options next to default reminders click a new time.

Drag and drop the item you want to move from one calendar to the other. Click the file tab and choose options. Even if i set the default behaviour in file options calendar calendar options default reminder time any new calendar entries still defaults to none.

In 2013 the default reminder time was always set to a certain time but in outlook 2016 it seems to always be set to none. I skipped over version 2013 so i can t say for certain but it seems strange that ms would change it to 0 5 days 12 hours in 2013 and then change back to 18 hours in 2016. Under calendar options select or clear default reminders.

The calendars appear in the reading pane side by side. This is my local calendar not a shared calendar. In the folder pane on the left side of the screen select the check boxes next to the calendar names.

In outlook 2016 the default reminder time for all day events is still 18 hours at least in my setup with a fresh install of 2016 on a clean system. You can change the reminder time when you create the appointment or you can change the default setting as follows. For existing appointments or meetings.
