Your problem isn't iOS, your problem is Outlook.

Outlook only abides by Microsoft's rules, especially if you are using an Exchange mail account.

Outlook can't even work properly with a standard IMAP account, without jumping through hoops.

The same problems occur with Windows.

One of the great things about macOS, iOS & Linux is that they all abide by the "open standards" that everyone agrees should be in place. Thats what makes interoperability so good. These providers all work with open standards and yet manage to support Microsoft's "standards.

Microsoft is not in that list. They still believe that they have a monopoly and can dictate things to the computing world.

That's not so any more.

Thank you to all who have contributed. My issues with transfer between iphone, iCloud and Outlook seem to have improved with installation of iOS 12 today, giving much food for thought!!

I am not yet sure that all is well, but certainly icloud is now displaying what is on the iphone. If this stays stable I will reinstall icloud for Windows and hope to reconnect to Outlook properly

I'm confident other people have run into this issue.

I'm starting a new position shortly (I think - waiting for the final offer). The company is BYOD optional. My choice is between carrying a personal phone and a company phone or one for both purposes. 

My issue is calendars. I've been through this rodeo before and there is only one correct answer: your secretary owns your calendar and you show up when and where she tells you. If you don't get that you haven't had a good secretary. 

Here is my issue. I have a lot of music and videos and podcasts on my computer at home. I have a lot of personal commitments on my calendar. My secretary will "own" my time during the day and realistically beyond that (travel for example). I don't have a problem commingling entries - if I don't trust a secretary s/he won't be my secretary. 

Ideally I would plug my phone into my computer at home and sync calendar, music, videos, podcasts, ebooks, etc. Plug into my computer at work (remember that Outlook allows access delegations through Exchange so my secretary can schedule on my office calendar from her desktop) and sync there to move all my home calendar items to the office and office items to the phone. 

Constraints: no cloud. No iCloud, no Google Drive, no Google Calendar, no OneDrive. No cloud. There are too many security sensitivities to let data outside positive physical control. I greatly prefer using the Apple calendar app but I'll shift as long as it can be the default and launch things like Google Maps/Waze without too much trouble from addresses, and phone calls at least native and hopefully Google Voice. 

Has anyone gotten this to work? Ideas? If I can't do it my options are two phones or a 3x5 index card with my schedule on it.
