Quick question to EA’s in the bowl here who support multiple partners. How do you handle multiple Calendar delegation and access on Outlook! Where I work we have up to five people were supporting plus we have access to the entire US calendars of partners and ours crashes on the daily multiple times a day. It’s really troublesome. Just wondering if anyone has any workaround.

I have access to 10 calendars and Outlook hates it. Old outlook has the freezing issue while new Outlook likes to hide meetings from the actual calendar itself. There's no winning with either. There's always the web version which seems to be the most stable, but I just don't prefer the slightly smaller view. But when I have heavy calendaring days I have to use it just to have it function properly.

Following - similar issues. However the whole system doesn’t crash, just our laptop when we have “too many” calendars open in sep windows.
