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.

    Hello,

    I had different use case that I solved, but maybe it can help: I have a calendar in Google. I have another calendar in Outlook.com. I want to see Outlook.com calendar in Google Calendar.

    1. Go to Outlook.com calendar. Click on Share, and then on Get link.
    2. Choose the ICS one and change the beginning of the link from webcals to http.
    3. Enter this address in the calendar URL in Google.

    Cheers.

    Hello Milos,

    This worked perfectly. I also wanted to "see" my Outlook calendar in Google. I tried everything. I found your posts and tried it. PERFECT!!!! I changed webcals to http after I posted it the Google url add calendar box. This worked perfectly. Thank you so much.

    Hello Milos,

    I was able to import my Outlook Calendar into my Google calendar. I used your method described on 1/16/2014. Once the import was complete I saw all my appointments. This worked great.

    The next thing I wanted to try was setting up NEW appointments. I set up the appointments in my Outlook Calendar. Then I went to my Google calendar. I wanted to see if the NEW appointment showed up in Google Calendar. After many refreshes and many syncs, I did NOT see the new appointment.

    My question is does this method update Google calendar when you update Outlook calendar?

    Thank you

    Importing calendar information is static.  I suspect that the method doesn't update, since it imports a static ICS file.
