Microsoft Outlook 2010 Forum

I have not been able to do so.

I can connect to the account using Office365 Outlook Web Access (owa) in a web browser, so I know the account exists and the credentials are good.

I can connect my Outlook 2010 to a regular exchange account on my enterprise exchange server, so I know Outlook 2010 on top of Crossover works.

However I cannot get Outlook 2010 to connect to the Office365 account. Has anyone done this successfully?

I personally hate office products so I dont have any to try. But it sounds like your linux firewall may be a culprit or you need to install wininet in you bottle.

No. I've been waiting for Office 365 support for a long time. Some time ago I got following response from the support: "Our developers are still working on supporting Office 2013 and Office 365 servers. We hope to have it working in Crossover 13 due out this fall."

So there's hope.

Thanks very much for the reply. I'll conclude there is no reason to continue experimenting with office365 configurations until version 13.

So it's LDAP for the office365 email as a fallback for now. Does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives for getting to the office365 calendar, preferably from Outlook 2010?

As a alternative I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird + Lightning + Exchange EWS Provider combination. It does pretty good job unless you don't need to use multiple calendars inside same account.

I know this thread hasn't been touched for a while, but I just wanted to post that I am using Crossover 13.2 and I was able to connect to Office 365 without any issues. The standard wizard was able to configure the account for me and once everything got in sync it has been working well.

I'd love to know how you did this. I'm running 14.1 on Kubuntu and when I try to connect Outlook 2010 to an O365 account, I get an error to the effect that there is no internet access...which plainly isn't true since IE7 in the same bottle is hitting any website I try.

I've tried entering all manner of O365 server addresses but always get met with the same error message and can't connect.

I had been struggling with this for over a month. Finally a break-through today. Mind you this is still not official since I managed to get it working using a nightly build, not an official release. Steps as follows:

1. Start with an installation of 14.1.4
2. Install Office 2010 (Outlook 2010 and whatever else you need)
3. Install Office 2010 SP1 (unless your install media includes it)
4. Install the April 2012 Outlook update (KB2553248) from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29361
5. Upgrade to crossover nightly build 20150801

As it turns out, KB2553248 is needed to enable the so called "Anonymous Authentication" for "Logon Network Security". This is needed after changes to Exchange Online (so called Wave 14 to Wave 15 changes: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/scottos/archive/2013/07/25/outlook-can-t-connect-to-office-365.aspx).

Another quirk with recent wine releases (hence recent crossover versions) is that they leave .lnk files lying around everywhere if directory "~/.cxoffice/<Office 2010 bottle name>/drive_c/users/crossover/Recent" does not exist. These are generated to support the File -> Recent option in various Office applications (e.g. Word). If it doesn't exist, create it manually; all .lnk files will then be saved there instead of the current working directory.

Hope the above helps! Best,
Dimitri
