| 1350379 | 2013-08-02 03:36:00 | At a guess Windows Phone probably do MAPI sync with Outlook.com / desktop.EAS :)It used to use EAS for Gmail as well, but since Google killed it off for new users, it now uses IMAP + CardDev/CalDev. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1350380 | 2013-08-02 08:22:00 | Assuming you do email on multiple devices . . . . As I don't, I stick with POP . Should I need emails on more than one device I would then switch to IMAP . ^2x . I have set up MAPI but I don't yet use my Outlook email addy . I have linked my Outlook calendar on the PC to Outlook online so I get it on my phone to remind me etc . Honestly I don't do that much emails now since we have IM/chat apps and when I am away I have not really needed them . I am still using my ISP email which is a old one on dialup now but I have not logged on . If they do a revamp and kick out inactive customers then from afresh I may start using my Outlook email and since it has the ability use MAPI and sync, never know, might be handy on the occasion . . |

| 1350381 | 2013-08-02 08:22:00 | IMAP is a PITA. I use POP on my main computer and leave a copy in my Gmail online account until dealt with, then they get deleted from Gmail and only kept on my desktop Outlook. I sync my Outlook calendar with my Gmail one | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1350383 | 2013-08-02 10:06:00 | If you don't need the IMAP features I suggest go with POP. A pain with IMAP is that it doesn't have auto delete, so you have to go to your IMAP account periodically and manually delete what you don't want. With POP you can set your client to delete from the server after a user-selected period (that's the way it works with Eudora client, anyway). | Robin S_ (86) | ||

| 1350386 | 2013-08-02 21:52:00 | I know that but how did u sync outlook calender with Google calendar thought was canned by Google unless one signed up before | Nomad (952) | ||

| 1350388 | 2013-08-03 09:52:00 | I know that but how did u sync outlook calender with Google calendar thought was canned by Google unless one signed up before Google Calender sync used to do this until they stopped making it available for download, and stopped supporting it. But, it still works perfectly for me (Using Win 7 64 bit, with Outlook 2013). I have 2-way sync, so any appointment made using Outlook auto copies to my Android device, and vice-versa. Perhaps if you can find the install file (it's still on the net, just avoid dodgy sites) it will still work as a new install? Or does Google stop it working for new installs and only support it still for existing installs, does anyone know?? |
