Outlook – Sync google calendar and contacts with Outlook 10

gmailgoogle-calendargoogle-contactsmicrosoft-outlook-2010sync

I use a google accounts for mail/contacts/calendar. I use Outlook 2010 on my desktop and an iphone. Iphone syncs calendar/contacts/mail via what I presume is faux exchange mechanism, anyway it works.

Mail obviously works in Outlook using IMAP. I used to get calendar sync using google calendar sync – however this does not support Outlook 2010. Given this is something Google have been alerted to since 2009 – I presume they have no plans to fix it.

Is there a solution here? Can I make Outlook 2010 sync in a similair way to how my iphone works (using m.gmail.com ?). Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Use gSyncit instead. It costs $15.

However, it:

  • supports Outook 2003, 2007, 2010
  • Can sync to Multiple Google accounts (including Google Apps for domain accounts)
  • Can sync not only contacts, but also calendar, tasks etc.
  • Is actively supported by the developer, unlike Google Calendar Sync (which is suffering from bit-rot)

I used to be a Google Calendar Sync user myself, until about a year back, when I got tired of the buggy software and switched to gSyncit instead.
