Set Up Apple Calendar for Your Exchange Account

If you are using Apple Mail to access your Office 365 account, you’ll probably find that Apple Calendar knows where to find your calendar information. This article describes how to add your calendar to Apple Calendar manually.

This article applies to: Apple Calendar

Two-Step Login for Office 365 works for Mail and Calendar on recent versions of macOS. It may not work on older versions.
  1. Open Calendar, found on your dock or in your Applications folder.
  2. From the Calendar menu, select Accounts.
  3. In the Internet Accounts dialog box:
    1. If Exchange is available, click it and make sure Calendar is turned on.
    2. If Exchange is not available, click Add Account, then Microsoft Exchange.
  4. For Name, enter the name you want to appear in calendar entries.
  5. For Email Address, enter NetID@cornell.edu substituting your own NetID.
  6. For Password, enter the password you use with your NetID.
  7. Click Sign In. Wait while Calendar looks up your account. (It may take a minute or two.)
  8. When Calendar finds your Exchange account, it will ask which Apple apps you want to use with the account. Mail, Calendar, and Contacts work best when they work together.
  9. Click Done.
  10. Close the Internet Accounts dialog box.
  11. From Calendar’s View menu, select Refresh Calendars. Wait while Calendar retrieves your information. (It may take a minute or two.)
