Gnome Calendar and Office 365 calendar

Question

I have been looking into forums, but I couldn't find a resolution. How to integrate office 365 calendar with Gnome Calendar in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

I'm not using Evolution, as I'm using Thunderbird. I already integrated Thunderbird with Office 365. But A native calendar would be more handy.

Any one tried this? Any success?

I would like to share a complete 3-Step tutorial to sync your calendar account with Linux.

Note: This will also sync your email to evolution, after the tutorial just open evolution and refresh the mailbox - you must have email sync enable on Online Accounts. This tutorial will even work with personalized enterprise domain in office 365.

STEP 1) Install evolution-ews on your Linux

Debian and derivated:

sudo apt-get install evolution-ews

or just

sudo apt install evolution-ews

on newer versions.

Fedora and Derivated:

sudo yum install evolution-ews

or

sudo dnf install evolution-ews

on newer versions.

STEP 2) On Online Accounts select Microsoft Exchange:

Fill up the email and password fields with your Office 365 info (the rest will be filled automatically).

STEP 3) Replace Server field with:

outlook.office365.com

and copy the email field content into username field.

Here is how it should look like:

I had the exact same problem on Ubuntu 18.04. The Exchange account was properly accepted in Online Accounts section with the Calendar toggle enabled but it did not appear in the native calendar app.

Installing evolution-ews with sudo apt-get install evolution-ews made it work normally
