Best and most compatible email ISP

[Capers1962]

Hi,

Apart from G-Mail, which email ISP's are the most compatible with my MBP?
I normally use Outlook but am getting a bit miffed that I can't get my calendar into my MBP native calendar app.

So, which are compatible, or is there a way that a 'Joe Normal' like me can integrate my Outlook.com calendar into the native app.

Thanks in advance.

Good call. Didn't know that iCloud had a calendar function.
Now, here's when it gets awkward - the Email ISP also need to be compatible with an Android phone ....
I know, it is messy, but there are some legacy issues I need to resolve which may take some time.

I'm not sure how it's working these days, but did you try setting up your Outlook.com account as "Exchange" in Mail?

I have office 365 but that only gets me mail and contacts - unless anyone of the guru's here can help me otherwise.

Office 365? Your email is hosted as an Exchange account via Office 365? Or are you saying that you have an Office 365 subscription to the Microsoft Office apps? Who, exactly, is hosting the email account that is giving you problems? This needs to be clarified before you can be helped, I think.

Hi,

I subscribe to Office 365
The email in question is hosted by Microsoft (...@live.co.uk)
The option of using my Microsoft account is optional - I'd still consider A.N.Other email account that is fully compatible with all the native apps on my MBP.

Got it.

People rave about FastMail around here…IMAP, CalDav and CardDav. Push mail on iOS devices with it, too.
