You can also synchronize the contacts and calendar from Outlook with the Android smartphone or tablet. Our guide tells you how.
- Synchronize data afterwards
- Sync the calendar only
The Freemailer Outlook is not only suitable for your e-mail traffic, but also for managing contacts and appointments. If you use Outlook for this purpose, you should always have this data at hand on your Android smartphone. Thanks to the synchronization, there is no need to transfer everything manually.
There are several ways to sync your mobile device with Outlook on Android. If you set up the Outlook app, contacts and the calendar are automatically synchronized. But only if you give your consent. However, synchronization is still possible at a later point in time.
