O365 Calender, cannot mark events as "away"?!

[szilske]

Hey folks,

I am using an Office365 account in my Mac calendar and when I create a new event, I can mark it as free or busy or tentative, but not as away. Am I missing something? That's really annoying, whenever I want to create such an event, I need to open Outlook to update it.

Exactly. The macOS Calendar app doesn't support all the functions of Exchange nor does the Mail app and probably the Contacts app.

Also, the last time I looked the Outlook app for Mac didn't have all the functionality of Outlook for Windows.

The only reason I have an Office 365 Exchange account hosting email for a domain is for a very important family member who is accustomed to using Outlook on Windows. On my Mac I don't sync anything but email for my address there.

And "Away" or "Out of Office" is so basic to setting an appointment. Makes me crazy. And my job is 100% O365.
