syncing an Exchange calendar with the Mac Calendar app

I use Outlook for my email and the Apple Calendar app for my calendar and appointment. Since some people send me invitations through Outlook they end up on my Outlook calendar and I would like to sync the calendar with my Apple calendar. This seems to work nicely with the Calendar App on my iPhone, as I can see all the Exchange (Outlook) calendars on the phone app. However I tried to set it up so the Exchange calendars would sync with the Calendar app on my Mac and I get an error message "Calendar can’t refresh the account “Exchange”." I'm hoping someone can explain why these 2 different Apple devices are behaving differently and, hopefully, how to fix this.

Hello xyz2789,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble adding a Calendar to your Mac. I’m happy to help.

Should the issue persist, please respond with the following:


1.) What macOS version are you running? Check by clicking  > About This Mac.


2.) Is this a personal email account or is it managed through your workplace, school, etc.?


3.) At what point in adding the Calendar are you receiving that error message?


Take care.
