Outlook on laptop not syncing to Mobile Outlook

Anmeldedatum: 12.03.2023 Beiträge: 5

First post here...

I'm wondering if this is actually possible with MPE?

I've selected all the relevant syncing options in MPE and successfully sync contacts, create back ups etc.

Laptop Outlook syncs to the MPE App on laptop but doesn't sync to Outlook on phone (Samsung S9).

If it doesn't do this do I need a separate Calendar App that MPS syncs to?

Thanks

That's right, if you use the Outlook account, you don't need our program for that!

Thanks but it's not an Outlook Account - I just use Outlook on my laptop to access email, contacts etc. I have a BT Email account and use Outlook with IMAP settings to access on several devices.

So Outlook on my phone accesses my email but I should need MPE to sync the Calendar - but it doesn't work.

Sorry, but you wrote:

You have to activate the calendar storage in your calendar app for viewing, in which the appointments (MPE) are located.

Thanks for taking the time to respond - much appreciated.

Do you mean activate "calendar storage" within the Outlook calendar part of the mobile phone app? I can't see any way to access that?

Is one issue the fact I'm using IMAP and not the Exchange protocol?

Maybe it can't sync and I need to use another Calendar app?

Thanks

That's right, the Outlook app only works with the Outlook account.

A calendar app such as aCalendar+ or business calendar2 should work.

Just to close this out and thanks to icke1954 for responses.

Ultimately I did get this to work but one of your earlier suggestions made it work. I had to enable storage on my Google Calendar that my email address seems to be attached to - once I did this the diary items appeared on my phone.

Only issue is I now get two reminders on my laptop, one from Outlook and one from Google. Still two are better than none. Cheers
