Previous when I was clicked into my calendar I could scroll it with my mouse wheel. This no longer seems possible and I cannot find a setting to adjust it. Was this feature removed from the new Outlook?

    Hi @Juell, Khandice,

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the new Outlook. We’d like to provide some clarification regarding the change in calendar scrolling functionality:

    In the classic Outlook desktop application (Win32 version), users were able to scroll through weeks and months in the calendar view using the mouse wheel. However, in the new Outlook for Windows—which is built on the same framework as Outlook on the Web—this feature is no longer available.

    The new Outlook adopts a web-based architecture, which does not support continuous scrolling in the calendar’s month view. As a result, the mouse wheel no longer allows users to scroll through months or weeks as it did in the legacy version. This is not a removed feature per se, but rather a limitation of the current design that has not yet implemented the scrolling capability.

    Here are some alternative ways to navigate your calendar in the new Outlook:

    1. Use the on-screen arrow buttons at the top of the calendar to move month by month.
    2. Use the mini calendar (date picker) in the sidebar to jump directly to a specific date or month.
    3. Switch to Week or Day view to scroll vertically through hours and navigate across weeks or days.
    4. Use keyboard shortcuts such as Alt + Left/Right Arrow to move between days/weeks, or Ctrl + G to open the “Go to Date” dialog (if supported).
    5. Touchscreen or touchpad gestures may allow swiping between dates on supported devices, though this is limited in desktop environments.
