I'm not sure if this is a Exchange or an Outlook question.

I have a Bell.net email account which is an email service provided by Microsoft (I believe its hotmail).  I'm trying to sync my MAC Calendar with the calendar associated with my Bell.net email account but nothing seems to work (when I log into my bell.net email account I can go the calendar function, which I want to sync with the MAC calendar app).  

I've been on the phone with Bell (or Simpatico techs), Apple techs and Microsoft techs.  Bell techs are useless.  Apple advises the way to do this is to launch the Calendar app, go to preferences and add the account (giving it my email address and password).  I've tried adding it both as Exchange and CalDav, but nothing seems to work.  I get a message back saying can't connect to the server.

The response I get from Bell (Sympatico techs) is that they use Microsoft email service so I have to contact Microsoft.  Microsoft passes me from tech to tech to tech (on three separate occasions I've was on the phone with Microsoft for over four hours).  Apples has been very helpful but they tell me I need to find out from Bell (Simpatico) the server name, which Bell/Sympatico don't understand.

By the way calendar synch works great from my iPhone.  I've tried using the same server name on the MAC but it does not work. 

PLEASE HELP.  ANYONE.  (by the way I've tried with my Google email account and calendar sync works beautifully).

Thanks.

Hi,

The thread is Exchange forums, since this issue is related to Bell.net email account, I recommend that contact app provides for further troubleshooting.

Basic on my research, Exchange account could sync may, contacts, calendar, tasks and notes outlook data with mobile devices and with other applications. However Outlook.com(Microsoft account) only sync mail data.
