New Business Email - Microsoft and Outlook Q (Ionis)
Discussion
Hi
I have two current email accounts that I can easily access with calendars on my computer and phone within Outlook:
1. Personal one with hotmail and extended microsoft storage (showing as a microsoft exchange email within outlook)
2. Work one with Ionis email account and primary email within microsoft 365 business standard (showing as a microsoft exchange email within outlook) - i have Teams with this one naturally.
I am opening a new business with a new unrelated email domain to the above (2). I have purchased the email on Ionis and added this to my iphone and laptop as an IMAP as directed. Email works fine.
Problem - I cant see a new calendar for this new email and would need this (along with Teams etc).
Google search confusing me a bit, I don't really want to buy another microsoft 365 business standard contract if I can avoid it naturally.
Help appreciated.

Your Ionos email account is just that, an email account. Emails accounts don't "contain a calendar" normally, that's a bonus feature of web mail providers like Gmail, Hotmail, etc. You don't need to buy anything else off Ionos. (I use them btw).
You just need to setup your Imap email in Outlook (I'm referring to the PC application, not some web version) then create a new calendar - known as a secondary calendar. All this data (appointments etc) is stored within Outlook, NOT at Ionos.
You just need ot understand that an email account, on normal web hosts, is just that, and not a calendar too.
Microsoft Exchange is a mail server that has a calendar feature. By paying Ionos for Exchange you are paying for them to link your new email address to their Exchange server, which they give you a logon/account for. Unless you need Exchange collaboration that having a local install won't support then you are just as well to setup a local calendar on your PCs Outlook.
