📅 Connect Your Email Account to Mailbird Native Calendar

In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of connecting one of your email accounts to the Mailbird Native Calendar. The setup is quick and easy—just follow the steps below to get started.

👀 Getting Familiar with the Native Calendar

The interface is divided into two main sections:

  • Right side: An hourly agenda view for the selected days of the week.

  • Left side: A compact monthly calendar with a date picker for quick navigation.

⚙️ Accessing Calendar Settings

To begin adding a calendar account, click on the Gear icon in the top corner of the Calendar and select Settings.
