Functionality

All functions provided by M365 are supported:

• send E-Mail
• receive E-Mail
• calendar (Appointments)
• addressbookaddress book

Calendar

TheTo addressbookuse showsthe onlyExchange contacts, thatcalendar, you have alreadyto contacted.utilize "Calendar" on MacOS.

The functionality is limited. It will show all the appointments you have. However, it will not show free or reserved time of other people, hence "Calendar" does not access the address book of the M365 Exchange server. If you create a new appointment, you are also not able to invite other people from the M365 tenant. You have to copy the E-Mail addresses from "Apple Mail" to the invitation.

Address book

To use the address book, you have to utilize "Contacts" on MacOS. Select the correct address book (from the Exchange server). In my case it was: Directories --> Exchange Global Address List.

You can search the addressbookaddress book in the name field by writing three characters of the name of the person you are looking for.
