Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I receive an email to confirm a booking, I see the time when the person wants to meet with me. I don't immediately know if this is a good time without checking my calendar. So I need to open my calendar in a different tab, check the time, then go back to the email. If I've forgotten the time between

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like a quick overview of the appointments I have before and after the suggested time. This allows me to make a decision on the spot and move on.
