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!

    Outlook.com does not support CalDAV, WebDAV och CardDAV unfortunately, not IMAP for mail either. I'm hesitant they ever will. They hae hinted on extended MAC support, but what that mean in reality, nobody knows at this point. I'm using both a MAC and a PC, and I too am disapointed with the lack of MAC support at this point. Maybe there will be EAS intgration in an uupcoming Outlook 2011 update OR in the coming Outlook 2014...

    Wow... just wow.   For a second time in the same thread, someone has FAILED to READ the initial question.   How is Apple supposed to know Microsoft's settings???   Let's try and make this a simple to understand as possible --- and NO the above is NOT an acceptable answer:

    1 - The original poster has a Mac (OS X) - and wants to use their Outlook calendar within the iCal Application that comes standard with every OS X installation

    2 - We both have attempted to add Outlook (the service) as an account in iCal (the application)

    --- We are not trying to add a calendar @ Outlook.com

    3 - Step 2 failed, because:

    a)  We don't have the correct settings -- please advise what settings should be used for a standard CalDav client

    b)  Outlook.com does not allow CalDav access

    If you don't know what a CalDav client is, please Google it --- sorry -- Bing It

    Simplified question:   Does Outlook.com support CalDav access?

    Doesn't help at all, because you failed to read the FIRST SENTENCE CORRECTLY.   We're doomed if the forum is moderated by lack of attention.

    They want to use the OUTLOOK.COM account within the iCal application on a MacBook (OS X, Apple, Macintosh).   Please send the settings for a CALDAV enabled calendar application, such as iCAL.   We DO NOT need subscription instructions for Live.Com...

    FAIL
