Import & export your calendars

Fastmail makes importing or exporting your calendar events simple. You can upload events, or download the data from any of your calendars, in industry-standard iCalendar format.

Please note: Notification preferences for events cannot be imported to or exported from Fastmail. Notifications will need to be set up manually.

Import events

To import events into one of your Fastmail calendars:

1. Go to the Settings → Import & Setup screen.

5. Select the calendar into which you wish to import the events, or select Create a new calendar.
