I store my .ics calender on a webdav server. With Thunderbird/Lighning I can read and write the calendar. But how to deal with Outlook?
Outlook can only read the ics file remotely. Synchronization using google calender is not an option for me.
For outlook 2016, you want to install icloud on your PC. Once it is installed, it will let outlook 2016 run an "add-Ins" "iCloud Outlook Add-in" to synchronize your ical with outlook in both way. This means you can modify your ical on either outlook or iphone. Then the system synchronizes both.
If it fails, try to close outlook 2016, open icloud, uncheck the calendar. hit 'apply'. Then check calendar again.
Good Luck.
Sync your Outlook calendar with iCal :-
1) On the Tools tab, click Sync Services.
2) In the left pane, select the Calendar check box.
3) Under Select the accounts to sync, choose the account or accounts that you want to sync for the selected item type.
Note The On My Computer account includes all Outlook items that are not synchronized with a Microsoft Exchange account.
4) On the Outlook folder to add new items to pop-up menu, choose the location in Outlook where you want new items to be saved. "New" items are those that are added first in a different application or device, and then synced to Outlook.
5) Close the Sync Services dialog box, and then on the confirmation message, click OK.
Depending on the size of your calendar, the sync might take some time to complete. You can close Outlook and the sync will still complete. For example, it will take time if you have a calendar that spans more than a year.
6) Open iCal and see that you Outlook Calendar information has synced.
You might have to close both Outlook and iCal and then reopen to see that the calendars are synced .

I have an outlook add-in that allows the user to save some data to an open extension in the outlook event.
When I follow the following steps,
Create a meeting in the Outlook add-in, add subject/invitees etc
Open the outlook add-in and follow the necessary steps that triggers a PATCH request that saves the open extension. After this when I fetch the event through the Graph API, I can see that the extension is saved.
Now press "Send". After this when I fetch the event again through the Graph API, I can see that the extension data is gone.
Please note that this only happens in the Outlook Desktop app and when creating a meeting (with invitees)
Any idea if there is a way to fix this/if this is a known issue with a workaround?
I have created an O365 group which comes with a default calendar. I also created a sample Outlook add-in to be displayed on the Appointment Surface adding the following in my manifest.xml -
<ExtensionPoint xsi:type="AppointmentOrganizerCommandSurface">
After enabling this add-in in my Outlook desktop application (Windows 10), it doesn't appear on the Appointment surface of my O365 group calendar. Although it appears on my primary calendar's appointment surface.
Am I missing anything here?
Currently the feature: addin in group calendar, you requested, is not a part of the product. We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page. Please add your request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered, when we go through our planning process.

Outlook web add-ins are showing grayed out in a delegate calendar in Outlook Desktop app on appointments/meetings windows. By delegate calendar I mean a calendar shared with me by another person in the company, with full permissions on share - so I can create/edit meetings/appointments from his calendar from my personal profile. Please see pictures below.
The web add-ins are not grayed out in Outlook Web App. There they work just fine, so it looks to me like a Outlook Desktop App-only issue.
This came as a complaint from one of our customers.
Delegate Access support for Mail/ Calendar across Outlook end points (except Mobile) is currently in preview. You can check out the documentation here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/reference/objectmodel/preview-requirement-set/outlook-requirement-set-preview#delegate-access
and give it try with the latest Outlook build.
Making the feature generally available is in progress and we hope to release soon but we cannot share a specific timeline at this stage.
I am working on outlook addin. But to add addin to outlook I need to see store icon. See image 1.
but when I switch to exchange mail server inbox i start seeing store icon. See image 2.
I am using outlook for mac 16.16.4. please let me know if this is mandatory requirement or I am doing something wrong.
Store functionality is only available for Exchange accounts, just the way Outlook works. Keep in mind that installed web addins are account based, so for multiple Exchange accounts you will have different addins, and for non-Exchange account you will have none.
thank you for taking the time to read this. I have a client who wants a button to be placed on the Appointment form that, when clicked, opens a copy of the Appointment form inside of Outlook as opposed to CRM. I've been looking at Microsoft.Crm.Outlook.SDK and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook but neither of of them seems to have any methods that jump out as being able to accomplish this. Has anyone run into this that could possibly point me towards an example or a decent tutorial? I've been checking google and the msdn as well but I'm not having any luck. Thank you.
The CRM client can be accessed through a browser or through outlook. If a user is accessing CRM through the outlook client and he opens a link to an appointment - then that appointment will open within outlook. If the user is accessing CRM through a web browser I do not think it is possible to launch an appointment though the web browser directly.
What you could do is generate an outlook appointment (.ics) file - through code - when the user opens this file it will open in Outlook by default. There is a format for creating iCalendar or outlook appointment (.ics) files - just google it - plenty of examples of creating them though code.
