I understand that Outlook for Mac / OSX will not sync outlook.com contacts or calendar, although this works fine with iOS e.g. IPad / iPhone. Just google it and the issue is raised all over the place. Does anyone know whether this is going to be addressed by Microsoft and/or Apple or will it just be a permanent frustration? Apple people blame Microsoft since it apparently dropped support for something called Sync Service and does not sign up to some standard-ish formats (Cal-dev /iCal or similar). Microsoft people blame Apple for something or other. Closed systems?

Not really sure, or interested. Given that what must be a sizeable portion of the market wishes to use Microsoft Outlook software, many with Outlook.com (or Google I believe) mail accounts, AND to have the benefit of the shiny Apple hardware, why is nothing being done about it?

Outlook calendar/contacts syncing on Mac 2016 I understand that Outlook for Mac / OSX will not sync outlook.com contacts or calendar, although this works fine with iOS e.g. IPad / iPhone. Just google it and the issue is raised all over the place. I have a mac book OS X version 10.6.8 with iCal 4.0.4 I have my iCal calendar set up but I want to sync it to my outlook calendar. I have Outlook for Mac 2011 Version 14.2.0 I have tried to go to Sync Services and I have clicked on Calendar-- On My Computer but it isn't working. For some, Outlook for MAC syncs perfectly with iCloud. I am determined to find a workaround. It is particularly stupid that my Outlook Calendar can't sync with iCal. You have been told wrong. Outlook will not sync with iCloud. Read what Microsoft have to say about it.

Everyone I know runs Outlook on a Mac or Macbook, most having switched from PC in the last year or two. The majority use outlook / hotmail accounts as well and everyone is fed up with the surprise discovery of the non-syncing calednar / contacts.

Apparently finding a way of having an exchange server is a fix, but assuming it's for personal use, there is no obvious solution. Very costly on Office 365 as it's not included in the personal / home versions and it doesn't make sense to pay for business. Apols for probably very innaccurate technical comments, but I think the basic point is correct. Anyone know of any plans to address this issue? I purchased the 2016 suite with hopes there would be improvements made to Outlooks syncing capabilities.

Who would have thought Microsoft would actually make the product worse by removing any attempts at syncing with Apple calendar and contacts altogether. We now have a product, two thirds of which is useless (calendar, contacts) to most of the people it was made for. Seriously Microsoft?? While I'm at it, has anyone figured out yet how to build a 'PST creation' function into the Mac version of Outlook? The windows version has only had the ability to do so for the last twenty years. Lync for mac 2011 screen sharing stopped due to server connectivity. Back to mail.app.

Same exact thing. Spent hours getting ready to transfer my workflow to Microsoft Office to use Outlook 2016 for Mac (been loving OneNote lately), and found out I cannot connect my calendar or contacts. Such a waste of time. Finally started considering Microsoft Office for my daily workflow and will now revert back to Google Web Interface or Apple Mail, Calendar, Contacts, etc, because of this silly and stupid oversight. If this lack of compatibility was intentional then it is an even bigger blunder than I could imagine possible by two of the biggest companies in the world.
