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.

    Thanks. That's interesting. However, as far as I can tell subscribing to an ICS file allows you to view the calendar, but not change it. Am I correct in assuming that the only supported ways to change a calendar on Outlook.com are through the web interface and EAS/Exchange?

    Hello Alan Watson Forster,

    Thank you for sharing your ideas on how to use the Outlook.com calendar in the apps. Alternatively, for users who wish to use their Outlook.com calendar in their apps, they can import it as an ICS file in their app. The article below provides details on how to do it.

    Share calendars in Outlook.com

    We hope this helps. If you have clarifications, feel free to post back for further assistance.

    Thank you.

    If you must use iCal, you can pipe your requests through a local DavMail server (http://davmail.sourceforge.net). It converts standard IMAP, CardDAV, and CalDAV requests into Microsoft Exchange requests, suitable for Outlook.com.

    Alternatively, buy BusyCal (http://www.busymac.com/busycal/), which can talk directly Outlook.com.

    This is awful from Microsoft, are we still not able to subscribe to our calendars via iCal? Even if it is read only?
