Outlook forgets the date when switching from Calendar to Mail and back

"I've never found a way to do this, but you can open your calendar in a new window (right click - open in new window) and keep it open at the relevant date range in the background when you switch to your in-box.

Not ideal but OK work around I think!"

"To reiterate what the others have said, this is a by-design 'feature'.

Most people want to look at the calendar for ""now"" when they switch to the calendar page.

Typically, that's what I want, though sometimes it'd be nice if it recalled I was looking at October of next year instead of this week, but viewing 'now' makes sense, too. I generally rely on that to get me back from looking at some future point to 'now' when I need to see what else is happening this week after submitting a vacation request, for example."
