FM & outlook

Hi

I need to be able to sync contacts (all fields possible) and calendars to Outlook.

Any suggestions as I clearly need a third party plug in or app. The few I found seemed unsuitable or did not support all fields.

Thanks

On contacts, as a read-only solution, remember than the LDAP option still exists. I have not used it recently, but it used to work fine as long as there was no need for updating from the Outlook side. I found having a browser window open on Fastmail for address book updates was not too disruptive to workflow, though obviously not ideal.

I have made good experiences with Outlook CalDav Synchronizer. Probably the most used add-in for CardDAV and CalDAV.

For many years, I used http://www.fieldstonsoftware.com/ gsyncit to sync Google, then to sync Carddav.

I finally gave up and trashed outlook. Life is so much better now.

Never thought I would, but Everything I do is web-based now, for email, calendar and contacts.
