I want to use Outlook for Mac only for my email, but all of my Mac apps, like contacts and calendar. Can this be done

I have used the Mail.app for years for my business email app, but it has always struggled to keep up with the volume, and there are always some minor/major communications issues between the email host on my Mac. I have always loved how well the Mail app has integrated with the other Mac apps, like the calendar and contacts. To solve the email issues, I finally tried Outlook for Mac, which seems to be working relatively well to handle the emails, however, I hate the outlook calendar and "people" interface for contacts. Initially, I tried using the Mac apps, but outlook would not communicate at all with them, so every email meant typing the full address, etc.. manually adding events to my calendar app, etc... Has anyone had any success getting Outlook for Mac (version 16.46) to communicate with their Mac apps?
