But he said he didn't want to give up a Gmail address that he's used for years, and you can't move a Gmail address to a Google Apps account. This reader could pay $50 a year for a Google Apps account that, in addition to letting him use a personal domain name and have ad-free Web mail, would include Outlook calendar sync. (If you were thinking Google looks like the good guys in this story, remember that it didn't officially anoint those two open, free-to-use standards until after months of confusion over whether it was really trying to push everybody to use a separate, Google-only system.)
Sync gmail calendar with outlook on desktop update#
But no such update had arrived for Outlook when Google officially cut off that app on Aug.
By August of last year, Microsoft had updated Windows Phone to allow Google calendar and contacts sync via open standards Google now supports (CalDAV and CardDAV). Google announced the upcoming end of "EAS"-based sync in December 2012. Then Google decided it could stop doing calendar sync using a licensed version of Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync when other options didn't require dealing with lawyers in Redmond, Wash. Google and Microsoft began walking toward this impasse years ago with separate decisions about what calendar-synchronization languages to support - yes, it's yet another tech-industry family feud - and neither seems anxious to reconsider.įirst, Microsoft chose not to build a calendar-sync standard called CalDAV into Outlook or such other software as its Windows Phone operating system. Or switch to a different calendar service. To get Microsoft's contacts/calendar/mail app working again with Google's calendar site, you'll need to turn to third-party software.
Is there a workaround, or can we get Google to restore Outlook support?Ī. I haven't been able to sync Google Calendar with Outlook since Aug.
