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.

    Agreed. Everything works fine except for mobile app where task list is missing.  Thought they were going to look into it, but I guess MS decided not to do anything to fix it. They probably want you to use office 365. I am using office 2013.

    Everything syncs fine except the task lists. My PC and online accounts are fine, my phone the tasks are no where to be found. Other than that the rest of the outlook suite works.

    Its 2017 and this issue still persists. I switched to another app called KEEP until this is fixed. Thought I would check and it looks like there is still no fix to this. Are tasks going to be added to the outlook mobile app or is this a dead issue?

    The post does not help in understanding how to sync a phone with task lists.  I have a Samsung Edge and all features work except the task and another forum recommended that I purchase a side software program; personally my years in IT I do not find this a safe option.

    Please link somewhere to help use my phone and tasks, my calendar and emails are useless without this feature and I will have to go back to google.  Thanks Kevin,

    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,
