How to add an email received as an appointment in the calendar

[Guest]

I receive numerous emails reminding me of meetings and appointments. I would
like to be able to add the email to my calendar without having to leave my
email, go to my calendar and type in the appointment (I keep going back and
forth between my email message and my calendar to get the date, time and
address for the event). Is there any way to just have to sent to my calendar?

If it is in fact an email and not a meeting request, you could drag the
email to the Calendar, release and a New Appointment form will open. You'll
need to complete the data for date and time - remember it for 5 seconds from
when you read the email!

The steps are:

Depending on your version which you failed to post....

show the Folder List View
Click the Inbox
Grab the email with the left mouse button and drag to the Calendar Folder
(it's not a click, but a grab and drag)
Release
You now have a copy in the Calendar
Complete the details of the appointment (date, time etc)

And they won't even need to remember that long because the original message
will be in the notes pane of the new appointment, so they can just read the
details there.

Sometimes, but not if they right mouse drag as when they chose "Move here as
appointment with attchment" as it shows as a closed envelope.
