+- As described in more detail below, each new date/time value in a scheduling column = one new calendar event. Never skip this.
+- Always use the same account for calendar events as was used for email fetching.
+- Do not create duplicate calendar events for the same meeting (same company representative && same job description | same company && same date time)
