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 Tom,

    I can see how important it is for you to be able to have an option to add your Microsoft/Outlook.com account on Mac. However, the developer of Apple's Operating System are the ones who decide what features will or will not be available on it. I recommend that you contact their support team for better assistance.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Hi HeeroYuy001,

    I understand where you are coming from. We would just like to let you know that we, at Microsoft, do not have the control on which platform or services will be available on Apple devices. It is best to reach Apple support team to clarify this.

    We appreciate your understanding with this matter.

    Regards!

    Vivvien_M - if you read previous posts; subscribing and importing a calendar is useless. 

    I'm just going to use iCloud and Google services - they seem to be the best options. 

    I'm sorry, I am not going to contact Apple. I am already paying Microsoft to use your cloud services; on top of that, I am not going to waste my time doing your job. It is your Microsoft's responsibility to make ALL cloud solutions cross platform capable if you wish to remain competitive.

    ...so again; why are you not elevating this issue to the right team that can work with Apple to get this option added? That's something we, the user community, depend on your help to do - I have no clue who at Microsoft or Apple to contact about this matter. 

    YOUR cooperation on this matter will be highly appreciated. 

    Thank you.
