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.

    Hi Kevin,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Let me assist your concern about the task events not syncing on your mobile device. When you setup your Outlook.com app on the Outlook.com app, it should sync your emails, contacts and calendar to your device. Initially, please remove and re-add your account to the Outlook.com app.

    Add Outlook.com to your Android phone

    If the issue persists, please provide the additional information we need to proceed in the private message that we have provided. Make sure you're signed in to this thread to see the private message link.

    We'll wait to your response.

    Thanks,
