I am using outlook.com for my web-based services.  I have an android phone (Motorola Droid Razr) on which I have installed the outlook.com app.  I have no issues with e-mail or calendar, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the outlook.com 'Tasks' on the phone. Does anyone know how to sync the task list to an android phone?

Just in case anyone else stumbles across this, as I did when trying to sync my outlook tasks to my android calendar... 

To accomplish this, set up your Outlook.com email address as a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in your Android Phone (I have a Note 2).  Do this by going to Settings, Accounts, Add account.  Then, choose Microsoft ActiveSync account in the next step.  Add your Outlook.com address and Password as it walks you through the set-up process.  It will, by default, have you set up to sync, email, contacts and tasks.  When this is done,  go to the calendar app on your phone.  Your Outlook tasks should be there along with your calendar entries.

Hope this helps someone.

    I have to agree.  Why would you develop the Outlook mobile app and leave the task list out of the process?  We as users expect what we see on the desktop app to be available on the mobile app.

    E!

    Thank you for the help, but my Samsung edge only gives me the choice of Schedule, day, 3 day, week, month and search.  Task is not an option.  My google Calendar app does supply that but my Outlook task will not sync.  Even thought they sync cross platform on my windows 10 and internet.

    Thank you for the suggestion though as it is greatly appreciated.

    On your Samsung you should be able to go to your samsung native calendar, click on "View" and you'll see something like (don't have mine in front of me) "Month", "Week", "Day" and "Tasks".

    I am using 365 and it still does not work. I try to migrate to Microsoft but I swear they just don't get it. Hence why Google will eventually dominate.  Sigh!
