Hello,

I have a Macbook and want to use my Outlook.com account on iCal.   I would like to use this as my primary calendar to add all events and invite attendees so that it is in the Outlook.com cloud.   I cannot seem to add it using the Mac preferences.  Please help.

Thank you!

Hey!

Choose Exchange and when it asks Username its your email address. Then it asks Internal Server and External Server so those are both outlook.office365.com. Worked for me.

    Hi,

    To get a better clarity about the issue could you please tell me how do you access your account? Is it through browser, email client or mail app? If you are accessing your account through Office Outlook then which version of Outlook are you using?

    Please post back with the answers to assist you accordingly.

    Thank you.

    PS for Username I tried entering my actual name which is what it shows in my Hotmail / Microsoft Account under Name, and when that didn't work, I put my email address? Not sure if this is any of the problem

    Hi Bernd_v

    Thanks so much. I have tried what you say and it asks for your Email Address, your User Name and your Password. I'm assuming the Email and Password are the same for Outlook as they are for Hotmail as I access it by logging into Hotmail. Only issue is it keeps telling me 'Unable to Verify Account Name or Password'. Any ideas :-(

    Thanks

    That's great news!! Thanks for the update bernd_v. 

    Sadly, I can't seem to join the beta program for Outlook.com - tells me it's full.
