- First, I did enable the imap support on my gmail account and took note of all the gmail “imap parameters” for the next steps.
- Next, I did configure an imap account to access my gmail mailbox in MS Outlook (on all my PC/Laptops).
- A also configured my Google account on my Android smartphone to access my gmail mailbox , my Google Calendar and my Google Contacts.
- Finally, I did install two freeware on all my Windows PC to sync my Google Calendar and my Google Contacts with Outlook:
- “Go Contact Sync Mod” to sync my Outlook’s Contacts with gmail (both way)
- “Google Calendar Sync” to sync my Outlook’s Calendar with gmail (both way on my private PC, one way at work => to get my professional appointments on my personal computers but no the opposite).
Et voilà 😉
Now, I should have a look on my “Outlook Web Account” (previously “hotmail”) to see if I could not use it to sync MS Outlook and Android in a similar way… MS did add/integrate indeed several services which deserve some attention…
