The ICS calendar app won't sync with Outlook and there is no option to add an Outlook account - only Google and Exchange. Is there another apk that will fix this issue so I can add an Outlook account?
touchdown
I use touchdown app in active sync mode for that, which is a nice outlook ui anyway. May be some custom roms come with the proper encryption support if you search.
I use Google Calendar Sync(http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89955), it's installed on my desktop, and sync's with Google Calendar, so when my device sync's with Google Calendar, I'm good to go. Been using it for a long time now and works great
I can't use Google mail, contacts or calendar due to the security issues of using cloud storage for sensitive information.
I wonder if using the calendar app from froyo will work. It synced directly with Outlook.
I'll give Touchdown a look. Thanks for the suggestions.

Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.

I finally found a FREE Option to sync my calendar to my phone over the air without having to manually sync (ie... oggsync).
http://aolsync.aol.com/main.do
Syncs your calendar, contacts and mail. Only downside is you have to use AOL's calendar.
This is just Funambol. You can download it directly from funambol.com and sync from your desktop too.
Try mail2web. Free.
I want to share my calendar from Outlook to automatically OTA sync to my htc DS.
With my iPhone, this wasn't a problem, but nowhere in the calendar application, or the accounts and synchronisation tab in settings to be found.
Does anyone know anything about this?
If you're coming from MS Outlook there are two extremely useful tools made by Google to get you started:
1) Google App Migration for MS Outlook http://tools.google.com/dlpage/outlookmigration
Which will migrate your MS Outlook contacts/calendar and emails to your new google account.
2) Google calendar sync http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
Which will enable you to continue to sync your MS Outlook and google calendars should you choose, or can simply be used to migrate your MS Outlook calendar to google calendar. It performs three types of sync (2-way, 1-way : Google to outlook and 1-way Outlook to Google (great for the initial migration)) so you can continue to use both calendars if you wish.
There are dozens of ways to do this and many third party, I'm sure that everyone has a way thats suits them that they'll recommend, this is mine.
Basically you sync your OUTLOOK with Google using Google calendar sync and then Sync your phone to Google.
Now that I have google calendar and contacts syncing with outlook via companion link - I saw an option on one of the accounts for syncing with hotmail. I haven't used hotmail for syncing with outlook calendars or contacts, only for email in the past.
Seems like android should be more friendly with the droid since it's a google product (long standing bugs unresolved, like DST problems with the free google cal sync), but wasn't sure if anyone here was using hotmail / live instead to sync calendars and contacts with outlook? I have 90 days to return the companion link software but thought I would check here before laying down the $50.
I think I'm confused on something...
I use both Gmail and hotmail's exchange settings on my mobile and calendars and contacts sync perfectly. The same should apply to outlook without a third party application, I think

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I don't have an exchange server, I am using pop mail and a local outlook pst database file for my calendar. Sounds like you are on exchange and that's a different animal... but I think the outlook connector might act as an exchange server for windows live/hotmail/outlook syncing.
Ah OK. Could you connect to hotmail's exchange server? m.Hotmail.com
Should be able to sync that way

Oh, now that's funny.... outlook connector does not sync outlook calendars to the windows live one, you have to open the windows live calendar in outlook to modify it. Yet the google program does sync the data within the native outlook calendar... go figure. I can't figure why they all messed with things like active sync that just directly synced your device to your outlook database on your local computer and thought it would be so splendidly awesome to go cloud. Yipee.
Many apologies if this was posted to the wrong forum section. I'm still getting used to this site.
Since Google has discontinued it's Google Sync app as of last month, and I am new to the Android OS, how is one able to synch their Outlook Calandar with their Google Android Calendar? I use Outlook at home and don't login to the web interface for gmail except to clean up up the spam folder...all my Gmail is forwarded to Outlook.
How ridiculous!!

I read only the press statements about googles decision. Google removed only the calendar sync adapter that you can't download it again and it seems that my work laptop is still able to sync outlook to gmail.
Is the calendar sync program installed on your pc?

Google Calendar Sync, the free app to move Outlook to Google Calendar has been discontinued.
Google Sync to devices will apparently be ended at the end of January. According to the announcement, existing devices will continue to work, but you will not be able to set up Google Sync to new devices. Google is supporting CalDAV and CardDAV sync for the future. CalDAV is supported by iOS devices 5 and higher, Android Jellybean and higher devices. The status of Google Sync to prior Android devices is not clear from the announcment.
There are third party tools that handle all the above. CompanionLink has offered an Outlook to Google sync for $14.95.
Since you don't really use Google, you may want to go from PC direct to phone. The advantage here is that Outlook Tasks, Notes and Journal, which Google Sync never supported, are supported by most 3rd party apps.
For older Android phones, if Google does indeed "cut the cord" there are CalDAV and CardDAV apps in the app store. I haven't tried them though.
