• I am using Outlook for Mac, with Office 365. I set up the O365 Sync and my Outlook for Mac syncs just fine. Since it is the O365 calendar syncing, all other devices regardless of OS are in sync. Hope this helps.
• Currently, Outlook for Mac doesn't support the CalDAV or CardDAV Internet standards.
