Please, please let iCloud contacts and calendar sync with Outlook 365. I don't trust external apps that claim to do this.

Having this "under review" for over a year with so many votes for it, it basically means that Microsoft does not care about its users.
It is no longer a matter of being a Mac user or not. It is simply a matter of not giving your users what they are asking for (and it is such a simple request that is going to backfire at some point).
I am sorry for you MS, losing ground once again for such a ridiculous requests -

The lack of connection with Apple Icloud contacts is almost a deal breaker for your otherwise excellent Outlook software. I tried a workaround and it resulted in repeated duplication of my Apple contacts - a serious blow. Please acknowledge us Mac people as real citizens, just like Google people!

Syncing of contacts with iCloud is required to get life back to normal. What is the issue?

I have been on a pc for years and have used outlook for years. I recently started my own business and purchased a Mac. Since I had been using outlook for so long the first thing I did was purchase outlook only to find out it doesn't sync with my phone, my contacts and my calendar. Very disappointing. I request you please implement this feature.
Thank you.

I don't expect MS implementing Card-/CalDAV (e. g. for iCloud contacts/calendar).
It's not a technical issue, it's company policy.
Unfortunately on both sides: Apple as well...
iTunes for windows provides an API to iCloud contacts/calendar for Outlook for Windows...
I had discussions with MS support people for Outlook for Mac over the years. They understand the request. They didn't argue technical roadblocks. There reaction was more like politics ("I understand. Please go to user votes and put your votes there. I cannot help you ...").
And the request is as old as Apple discontinued sync services in Mac OSX Maverick (about 5 years ago).
This site is a split up a year ago from a general user vote to implement Cal-/CardDAV. Until April 2017 it had been combined user requests 'Support for GMail, iCloud etc. calendars (CalDAV)' with 22,471 votes and 'Support for GMail, iCloud etc. contacts (CardDAV)' with 11,915 votes per April 14th 2017...
This perhaps should show everybody, that we will not see an implementation of iCloud contacts/calendar (Card-/CalDAV) very soon.
Much more to add: the CEO of Microsoft Europe declared some years ago: "We understood our customers and will implement Card-/CalDAV into Outlook". A promise waiting to be fulfilled over at least 4 years.
Any question?
Decide by yourself: live with outlook as it is or walk away. But don't expect that MS does care about. The number of users of Outlook for Mac is too small. -

I really need iCloud contacts sync on Outlook for Mac. I do not understand why this has been under review for over 1 year, with more than 4000 votes, and you still have not implemented it.

This has already reached and passed over the ridiculous situation it is. You have no sync for iCloud contacts... it is 2018, you still wanna lose customers just like that?
