Windows 10 supports syncing email, contacts, and calendars with all major providers. However, Microsoft chooses to close it down to a handful of providers.

<p>Windows 10’s Email and app accounts system let you sync your email, contacts, and calendars with your hosted service provider and the Windows platform.

New Windows Calendar feature is just standard webcal subscriptions but interestingly you can’t add your own webcals.

<p>Microsoft announced a slew of updates to the built-in Calendar app for Windows 10 last week. Among the new features was something called “Interesting Calendars” (interchangeably branded as “Bing Calendars.”) What <em>is interesting</em> about this feature isn’t the curated selection of calendars you can subscribe to but rather how this is yet another open technology that has been implemented exclusively in a locked down manner.
