Outlook.com Calendar birthdays sync issue

Great,

Thank you very much for the update.

Will be waiting for the news.

Thanks,

Dmitry

I have the same issue.

Here are Outlook.com features for what concerns Birthday as listed in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/calendar-add-birthdays

Calendar is connected to your contact list in People

• If you add a birthday to a contact in People, the birthday will be added to your calendar.
• If you add a birthday in Calendar, and the name you enter matches someone in your contact list, the birthday will be added to their contact.
• If you add a birthday in Calendar, and the person isn't in your contact list, they'll be added.

Here is my user experience with these features:

• If I add a birthday to a contact in People, the birthday will be added to my calendar most of times. For some reasons, some contacts birthday in People will not show in the Birthday Calendar, regardless of time for sync, syncing manually, deleting and re-adding the birthday in People.
• If I add a birthday in Calendar, and the name I enter matches someone in my contact list, the birthday will NOT be added to their contact, but instead, a new contact duplicate will be created in People.
• If I add a birthday in Calendar, and the person isn't in my contact list, they'll be added. This works just fine, but I find it the least desidarable feature of the three: what if I just want to remember a birthday and do not want that person as a contact? - i.e. Small kids, very old aunts, my favourite novel author, etc.

Are there any actions, that I am not aware of, I could do to have all People's birthdays synced with the Birtday Calendar?

Thanks for your attention.

hi!

I've exactly have the same problem here.

The sync feature doesn't work for some contacts.
