Calendar invites to outlook users don't get them

When I setup a meeting in iCloud calendar and add someone at iCloud.com, someone from gmail.com and someone from outlook.com, the outlook person never gets the invite.

I've tested this myself by creating a test account at outlook.com and gmail.com and the same happens to me. Only my gmail test account gets the invite but outlook.com test account doesn't get it.

Any ideas what is so special about outlook users not getting invites?

iCloud calendar not sending invites to Outlook calendar Hi there, My iCloud calendar isn't sending invites to my work Outlook calendar. The email address is correct, the calendar entry is created in iCloud and it even asks me if I want to send the invite - to which I say 'yes', but nothing is sent. It doesn't work on my MacBook, iPhone (11pro) or iPad. Can anyone help please? I'm getting double booked all over the place! Thanks :)

Invitations not showing in Mac Outlook When a calendar invitation gets sent to my xxxxx@me.com email address and I accept, it does not show up on my iMac where I use Outlook for Mac. The default calendar in Outlook is a different email address. The invite will show on my iPhone and iPad which use the Apple mail app. How do I get those invites to enter into the Outlook calendar?

Can't invite people from Mac Calendar, but ok from iPhone and iPad If I set up an event on my iPad (2021) or iPhone (8) I instantly see the section below the event and location with "All-day, Starts, Ends, Repeat", then I see the section "Calendar, Invitees". In this latter space I can easily add people from my contacts and they get sent an e-mail. All as expected. If I look at this event on Calendar on my Macbook, I see the list of invitees, and who has accepted/declined etc. So far, so good. However, if I set up the meeting on my MacBook Air (2019, 11.2.2 BigSur) I can't, for the life of me, see anywhere to invite participants. What am I missing? Running googlemail on all 3 devices, but Calendar is on iCloud for all 3. All operating systems up to date. This problem has been going on ever since I got the MacBook Air.
