📅 Understanding the Calendar and Accounts Section

In this article, we’ll guide you through the Calendar and Accounts columns of your Mailbird Calendar app, helping you better understand its features and layout.

🧭 Overview of the Calendar App Sections

The Calendar app is divided into two main sections or columns:

  1. Calendar and Accounts column (highlighted in red below).

  2. Calendar Display (highlighted in green below).

💡 Tip: To find out more about the Calendar Display, click here.

🖼 Visual Guide to the Calendar and Accounts Column

In the image below, the Calendar and Accounts column is highlighted on the left-hand side of the screen, and we will now focus on three of its key components:

  1. Your default email account.

  2. All other connected email accounts.

  3. Calendars created under each account.

🧾 1. Email Accounts

When you connect an email account to the Mailbird Calendar app:

  • The email account's details will appear in this section.

  • All calendars linked to the email account are displayed beneath it.

  • Each account includes a default calendar that cannot be removed.

💡 Tip: Your default calendar will appear at the top of this list.

A small downward-pointing arrow next to each account lets you collapse or expand its calendar list.

📋 2. Calendar List

  • Each calendar is displayed under its respective email account.

  • You can assign individual colors to calendars by hovering over them and selecting one.

This will help you visually differentiate between events for each of your calendars.

âž• 3. Add a Calendar

  • To add a calendar, hover your mouse over a calendar account.

  • When the + button appears, click on it to add a new calendar.

🖱 Right-Click Options

Right-clicking on any calendar opens a menu with additional options, specifically:

  • Create a new event.
  • Set as default calendar.
  • Edit.
    • Clicking on Edit will take you to the Calendar Settings menu.

💡 Note: The "Remove calendar" option will only appear for custom calendars which you've added yourself. It won’t be available for any default calendars tied to an account.
