What you get with the Outlook App

Limitations of the App:

If you are using a POP3 and an IMAP email account note that these types of accounts do not support the syncing of Contacts and Calendar, via the Outlook App.

2. Data types that sync:

The Outlook app currently only supports sync of Email, Contacts, and Calendar. There is no support for Outlook Tasks or the standalone Notes.

3. Calendar View Limitations:

While the Outlook app does synchronize your calendar, both the Android and Apple versions of the App are limited to an Agenda (List), a 3-day view and a daily view.

4. Contact View Limitations:

Contacts are limited to a single list view with no sort or group options available. The Apple version of the Outlook app does not allow for contact synchronization to the Apple Contact's App.

For a more robust sync andor if you are using a POP3IMAP email account, find the 'Getting more from Outlook' in the next section.

Getting more from Outlook

For those in search of a more complete sync of the data in Outlook, we recommend using CompanionLink and DejaOffice. Using these two programs together, syncs not only Contacts and Calendar, but also Tasks, Notes, and Color Categorization for all data types.

Along with more of your information syncing, DejaOffice also supports advanced sorting and grouping options to get the best out of your data.

Also, for those that prefer a non-server based sync, DejaOffice is one of the few sync services that offers local sync methods such as Wifi and Direct USB for both Apple and Android devices.

CompanionLink supports synchronization of contacts, calendars, tasks, and notes from all POP3IMAP accounts.

For installationuse of CompanionLink and DejaOffice please refer to the guides below:
