Outlook/Office for Mac OSX
Question, how do I get contacts from Outlook 2016 for Mac contacts to show up in the Messages app in OSX? I got a new computer and all the text messages don't show any names, only phone numbers. ...
Interesting, I have always used Outlook but never added it explicitly as an "Internet Account". I just set it up and connected through Outlook to O365 and it did not create an account in the Settings. I just added it now, but not sure if that would do it or not. I think maybe it is!
I DID have iCloud syncing Contacts too, not sure why, just the default. I turned that off now too.
Thanks for sharing your setup!

I don't have Office 365 as an Internet Account on my Mac, but the contacts sync to the Mac via iCloud because I use Outlook on my iPhone with contact sync turned on there. Basically Outlook/Exchange is my primary contact list and it syncs via iCloud without adding the O365 account as an internet account.
