Hey,
I'm new to Android and I want to use my Microsoft Account (Outlook.com) where I have my emails and contacts. I installed at first the Outlook app and the emails and calendar where synced perfectly. But my contacts are empty. I also add a MS Exchange ActiveSync Account but it doesn't help. I also checked if the outlook app has the permission for contact and it does.
Any idea or help how I can sync my outlook contacts with my Samsung S8?
cheers

Hi there
I upgraded my hotmail account and installed the HTTPMAIL on my imate in order to get my mail from hotmail to my device
When I log on hotmail contacts and appointments and calendar are available.
I wondered
Is there a way to synchronize my appointments and contacts from my imate with my hotmail account?
Before I got my WinMo phone I had all my email accounts in outlook, along with my contacts and calendar. I consolidated all of my email accounts into my gmail account. Imported all of my contacts and calendar entries.
I downloaded my emails to my phone through an IMAP connection, I sync my calendar entries between the phone and gmail. Is there a way I can sync my contacts from my phone to gmail without going through outlook on my computer?
I want to eliminate the middle man (my computer) in all the syncing so all of my stuff is available through my phone or gmail so that way if i'm at a friends and don't have my phone or computer I can still access information if need be.
With the contacts, in case its not clear enough, I synced all my contacts from outlook to my phone when I got it. I then imported all of my contacts from outlook into gmail. Now I get a call on my phone and then add that number as a new contact. How do I sync that new number into gmail without going through outlook?

tried looking here?
I was searching syncing gmail contacts windows mobile instead of pocketpc and gsync wasn't coming up on my search. Ill have to give it a try later. OGG Sync says it does contacts but the only thing I can find on it is calendar.
Thanks for the help
Gsync doesn't sync contacts from the phone to google. Somebody has to be doing this?
Try nuevasync.com
plexo.com + rememberthemilk.com + mesh.com = complete outlook replacement
Is paid service ($50/yr) but is by far the best I've ever used. Will sync your contacts and calendar with device/outlook/google/yahoo etc. I also use rememberthemilk to sync taks online, and Live Mesh for files and photos. Using Linux as a main OS forces you to find all the best-of-breed non-MS solutions, it's entirely possible to ditch outlook and still have 100% functionality replaced with online cloud services.
I'm currently running the android calendar app, and am having a bear of a time getting the calendar to sync with my Outlook client.
For example, I've create an appt. on Outlook, and it successfully will sync to the Google Calendar, and move it over to my phone. When I create one from my phone, it does not sync up to my Outlook client. I've verified that I have two way sync on, yet nothing every makes it to Outlook.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
