Outlook: find out large appointments with sorting by size

Author Kelly Last modified

As you see, we can easily get email messages' size and find out big messages quickly in Microsoft Outlook. However, there is no Size column in the Calendar view, and it seems hard to find out large appointments by size. Actually we can customize the calendar view, and sort all appointments by size, and then find out the large appointments with ease.


The following tutorial will show you how to show calendar items in list view, sort appointments by size, and then you can find large appointments by size immediately.

Step 1: Shift to the Calendar view with clicking the Calendar in the Navigation Pane.

Step 2: Change the calendar view into List view:

  • In Outlook 2010 and 2013, please click the Change View > List on the View tab;
  • In Outlook 2007, please click the View > Current view > All Appointment.

  • In Outlook 2007, please click the View > Current View > Customize Current View.
