Outlook for Mac 2016 won't sync 365 Calendar and Contacts

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.

    Hey Pawan,

    I have my email set up through exchange with the same settings in Outlook 2011 and 2016. In Outlook 2011 I can see my calendar appointments however in 2016 I cannot...

    In Outlook 2016 I can still get reminders however and the calendar appears to sync with the progress bar at the bottom. It's just that the calendar doesn't display anything.

    I have fixed my issue. It seems that the checkbox on the left defaulted to off?

    This was my problem the whole time flicking it on allowed me to see all my calendar entries

    Other users with this problem should check that the checkbox on the left is not off.

    This solution DOES NOT work with Outlook.com because it is NOT an exchange server. Please provide the proper information for an office365 subscription (if there is any at all).

    Same situation, OSX running outlook 2016 with home 365, not been able to sync any contact nor calender from the same outlook web account. Happens as well with gmail accounts.

    Yes, this appears to be a known issue with Office for Mac.  As stated on this page:

    Can’t sync Outlook for Mac with calendars and contacts in Outlook.com, iCloud, Gmail accounts

    Outlook for Mac does not currently support CalDAV or CardDAV. This means that it is not possible to synchronize your Outlook on the web, iCloud, Gmail calendar or contacts with Outlook 2016 for Mac. However, Outlook 2016 for Mac does support iCloud Mail. For more information, see Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac compatibility with Apple iCloud.

    IMHO this is a shockingly bad outcome and experience for loyal Office users who have faithfully ignored Microsoft's competitors and chosen Outlook on the Mac and Outlook.com.  Crazy to think we need to do all the extra work to simultaneously maintain two different sets of calendars and contacts across these products.  Frustrates me every day.
