[QUOTE="Jimmysb, post: 1928283, member: 416417"] I also have an O365 account, which I used on my Windows PC, and on moving to the Mac installed Outlook to convert my PST files to OLM, little did I know that OLM was Outlook specific (but that is a different story). On installing Outlook it was the New version that appeared, and both Import and Export were greyed out, later to find out only available on the legacy version. On reverting to the Legacy version I was a little surprised to find the account details entered did not "come across" and the accounts added again. I also found that all though the Legacy Mac Outlook looks similar to windows Outlook, there are some subtle differences. My biggest disappointment was the lack of integration with iCloud Contacts and Calendar, Windows has "iCloud for Windows" with integrate certain parts of your iCloud account which means both my contacts and calendar remained synced across my devices. However calendar was not "there" and after some investigation I found that contacts would need to be copied into Outlook, meaning a duplicate set and no syncing. If these two issues were sorted I may consider using Outlook, especially as it's free, otherwise I will stick with Apple Mail. [/QUOTE]
