Mac Mail - Outlook Exchange issues
Well, for whatever its worth it just went back to working again. Not sure if it was a Microsoft issue or an Apple issue but Exchange account/Mac Mail - Catalina is working just fine again.
This has been driving me crazy for years. Tried ALL solutions I could find online, nothing worked. Yet… I found a workaround that seems to work!
The trick was to create 2 different accounts in macOS Settings:
• IMAP account for handling just mail
• Exchange account for everything else (contacts, calendar, reminders, notes)
+ You need to go to Outlook online > Settings > Mail > Sync email, and enable "Send event invitations in iCalendar format" to keep macOS Calendar working.
All is working flawlessly now... So relieved.
NicolasRucine Interesting. Never thought to input the same account two different ways. I only have my one Exchange account set to sync Mail and Calendars. I've been lucky I guess that I've not had the mail issue in some time now, for me keeping the size the account grew to seemed to help. So I'm currently in "if ain't broken don't fix it" mode but your suggestion is going to be the first thing I try when the problem shows up again! THANKS!
