Syncing iCloud Calendar with Outlook for Mac (new Outlook)

I know this is an old thread, but Microsoft's documentation states that Outlook doesn't support iCloud Calendars or Contacts:

"Outlook for Mac does not support Apple iCloud calendar (CalDAV) and contact (CardDAV) synchronization."

Quite right, Microsoft made the choice to make their Mac version of Outlook incompatible with iCloud services (except email) but they did make the Windows version compatible with iCloud. Go figure.

Your question would be best ask in a MS Outlook for Mac forum

Hi buddy Bobby_d

I would like to attract your attention to simply issue.

question was: calendar

question was not: email client

You got it? Not client for mail but for calendar. Huge difference between them, you see?

Greetings kipp0606,

If you would like to use iCloud mail in an email client, you may want to review the following article. It contains the mail server settings you'll need to set it up:

iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support

Use these mail server settings if you need to manually set up your email app (client) to use an iCloud email account.

Do you need these mail server settings?

You can use the mail server settings in this article to manually set up your email app to send and receive email with an iCloud email account. However, you shouldn't need to do that if you meet the iCloud system requirements and can use any of these setup methods:

• OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later: Use iCloud Preferences.
• Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2010 or later: Use iCloud for Windows.
• iOS 7 or later: Use iCloud settings.

If you're using the Mail app in OS X Snow Leopard v10.6, use the mail server information in the iCloud Mail setup instructions for Snow Leopard instead of the settings below.

Mail server settings

Refer to your email app's documentation for information about how to use these settings. iCloud Mail uses the IMAP and SMTP standards supported by most modern email apps. iCloud does not support POP.

IMAP information for the incoming mail server

• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
  If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
• Port: 993
• Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not emilyparker@icloud.com)
• Password: Your iCloud password

SMTP information for the outgoing mail server

• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
  If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS or STARTTLS instead.
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker@icloud.com, not emilyparker)
• Password: Your iCloud password

Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Cheers,

Hi,

Did you get a solution to this? Bobby-D's reply related to email, not calendaring. So I can get the outlook appointments on my iPhone but not on my desktop, a recipe for disaster :-(

Quite right, Microsoft made the choice to make their Mac version of Outlook incompatible with iCloud services (except email) but they did make the Windows version compatible with iCloud. Go figure.

What is odd is Outlook for iOS will pull in Calendar and contacts from iCloud but Outlook for Mac will not... Any way to publish the iCloud calendar and pull it into Outlook for Mac?
