Sorry, but Outlook 2016 is broken compared to 2013. I am forced to use it at work with exchage, and it has weird bugs that simply did not exist in the 2013 version.

i still dont think it supports the iCalendar/calDAV standard either.

They support it, but in a very strange and broken way (lots of MS-specific fields with poor documentation). IIRC from my time trying to do appointment sending from line of business app, if you send someone an ICS attachment with the right MIME type, Outlook treats it as a regular appointment request.

It's too easy to write a backhanded comment regarding this issue, but it's just really annoying.
