  • Hi OK29,

    Refer to the following article to configure SharePoint Incoming Email Step by Step:

    https://min2dmax.wordpress.com/2014/06/24/step-by-step-configure-sharepoint-incoming-email/

    Then configure incoming email in calendar list:

    Per my test, we can only "send event" to the calendar list, we cannot "send mail" to calendar list.

  • Hi Lisa,

    Thank you for your comments but I want to know what kind of changes I need to take at server level to use Incoming email communication. Is SMTP service installation required? 

    We have 1 web server and 1 app server and 1 db server and incoming email communication is going to be used only for one calendar in near future. I got one email id from network team which I need to use for SharePoint calendar to receive incoming communications.

    So I would like to know the steps I need to take care to receive events from outlook to SharePoint calendar.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
