I've installed the beta on my iMac and my MacPro. Everything works great on my MacPro with syncing my contact and calendar from 365, even syncs well on my iPhone. But no matter what I try to do Outlook will not sync my calendar and contacts from 365. It will sync my mail but that's it.
From all outward appearances the settings are the same. I've uninstalled the beta, removed the Outlook data from Library, etc., reinstalled and the same situation.
Any idea why it won't sync on two Macs at the same time?
Thanks.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
thanks for the clarification, i hope its just a beta problem and they will fix by end of testing, if they do not make this change then it seems they did a lot of work for nothing and only to make a lot of customers frustrated........if the system works with Office 265 Home on the PC why not also on a Mac...........does anyone think they realize what they have done or heard any notes that they are working on a fix?
You mean its not supported in Outlook 2016 desktop for mac. It sure works fine for Outlook 2013 desktop for the PC. Is this what you meant to say. Any idea why it is this way? Will it be fixed? Makes me want to go back to my PC-windows set up.
It won't sync on OSX. Has something to do with Apple not allowing it. See earlier in this thread for explanation.
The iphone versions of Office will sync as that is allowed by Apple.
The pits but that's how it will work.

Why is it that the iPhone app will sync my calendar and contacts from Office365 but the desktop version (beta) won't?
This is stupid. If the final release is this way then I'll cancel my Office 365 subscription and just use the native Mac apps instead.
I am having the same issue.
As you have configured your account as an IMAP this protocol will not sync your calendar and contacts. You need to configure your account as an Exchange account and this will sync all your emails / contacts and calendar.
Though this link talks about Outlook 2011 but the steps will work for Outlook for Mac 2016 too
