Outlook for iOS, iPadOS and even Windows syncs and reads iCloud calendars and contacts. But not the macOS version. How was this not added years ago?

I have Outlook 365 for my Mac. I just set up all of my mail accounts this morning and was totally shocked to find syncing calendar and contacts could not be done. As much as I don't like it, I'm going back to the terrible Mac Mail app so can get immediate access to my contacts. A mail application is pretty worthless if you can't access contacts

I can't use Outlook on my Mac until it can access with the Mac Contacts. I don't want to sync them; I want Outlook to access them.

Very peculiar, you have Outlook 365, Ms exchange and cannot have it synced with your contacts on a Mac? How hard is that, Mr Microsoft? I can't believe after so many years of Ms Office existence this feature is not available. I understand Apple is on the other side of a fence, but your paid users want to use your product on an Apple and are asking for it.

Why would MS want me to leave their Outlook app and open the Apple Calendar and Contacts apps? The whole reason I use Outlook is for that all in one convergence of services. This seems like a significant shortcoming in the product to me.

Syncing of Mac Contacts with Outlook should have been done years ago. Please add this ASAP!

Please add this feature!!! It is maddening having to copy addresses from Mac Contacts and paste them into Outlook multiple times a day and even worse trying to manually sync Outlook and Mac calendars hoping not to miss a meeting or double-book yourself!

This is a basic functionality which Outlook should have. Users should not be penalized for trying to exist by using the best parts of Mac and Windows ecosystems.

As the gmail calendar sync works, I think this is a M$ political decision. You don't care about your customers.

Mac Mail is fuddy duddy, Mac Calendar is functional. Outlook calendar & email integration is best. Why not allow iCloud, Gmail, Outlook calendar synch? Makes us users happy, your users!

Please make it possible just to sync calendar and contacts from an exchange account AND (!!!) to set on- and offline different accounts for themselves, not either all or nothing. Thx.

It would be fantastic to have this feature - but I can imagine that the problem is the continuously changing interfaces in Apple's macOS whereas Windows is controlled by Microsoft as well.
However, as mentioned from others as well, it is of high business relevance to make this work therefore I hope Apple and Microsoft will find a sustainable way so this works soon (and keeps on working also in the future).
While other apps seem to be able to access the contacts in the macOS Privacy Settings - for some reason (only the 2 companies probably know) Microsoft Outlook is not able to do that (while Excel, Word, ...) can.

It's kind of essential. My Contacts are synced everywhere else, across all my devices and platforms, the only exception being the Mac Outlook app.
