Some Events Not Syncing With All Apps
I cannot figure out what the issue is, but some events are not showing up in all my calendar apps: Outlook for Mac, Apple Calendar, Fantastical, Dato and Teams. I just added an event using Outlook, and it is not showing in Apple Calendar or Dato, but it shows in Fantastical, Outlook and Teams. I added one using Fantastical's menu bar and it didn't show in Outlook or Teams. There is no rhyme or reason; syncing is just not consistently working.
App Passwords for IMAP
I have a 1998 Hotmail account that I still use. Today it has evolved to just yet another Microsoft account. For many years, I used `getmail` to receive mails from the account, using e-mail and password credentials. Recently microsoft sunsetted this "less secure" login method for IMAP. So following the docs I set up 2FA and created an app password to use for IMAP login instead of the account password. Unfortunately, the new app password based login keeps failing with getmail version 6.18.11 Copyright (C) 1998-2023 Charles Cazabon and others. Licensed under GNU GPL version 2. SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever:email address removed for privacy reasons@imap-mail.outlook.com:993: email address removed for privacy reasons: credential/login error (b'LOGIN failed.') The getmail config is actually pretty straight forward: [retriever] type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever server = imap-mail.outlook.com username = email address removed for privacy reasons password = xxxxxxxxxxxx I am aware that older getmail docs talk about an "xoauth" login method, that requires the e-mail account to be a microsoft developer account (whose registration in turn requires this and that and keeps ending with a strange error popup). However, the Microsoft docs clearly say that with 2FA turned on, all you need is an app password to use "other e-mail clients" But why doesn't it work? Any ideas?
Problems with Scheduled To Do Tasks and Outlook Calendar/My Day View using Mac/Apple
It is my understanding that tasks scheduled in To Do will appear in my Mac Outlook calendar and/or the "My Day" or as Mac users have "Day" tab next to your mail or calendar app. Every time I schedule a task, it does not show up in my calendar at all. I have tried everything I have read online and still not gotten anything to work - including syncing the apps. Can scheduled tasks be viewed on outlook calendar? Is this one of the many glitches in Microsoft's recent Mac updates? Please help.
