i'm really loving outlook.com - jumped all in and moved everything over from gmail.

do you all have any plans to add some type of sync functionality between outlook.com and the outlook desktop application?  i manage my contacts through the outlook desktop application, and it's a bit of a pain to export contacts from outlook desktop application to a .csv, then import into outlook.com.  would sure be nice if there was a way to sync content to & from these two relatives, especially contacts & calendars.

thanks

    Hi Scott,

    Thank you for posting your query in the Microsoft Community forum.

    We understand your concern with having your contacts syncing in both Microsoft Outlook and Windows Phone. However, please take note that this is the forum for Outlook.com-related issues. In that case, your inquiry would be better addressed on either the Windows Phone forum (where you have already created a thread) and on the Microsoft Office Outlook forum by creating a new thread here as they are experts in your field of inquiry and they have the appropriate resources to resolve your concern as soon as possible.

    We highly appreciate your understanding in this matter.

    Thanks!

    so do you have your contacts in Microsoft outlook on your computer that came from gmail contacts or vice versa?   I would like to keep all my contacts in Microsoft outlook on my computer and use a gmail account in Microsoft Outlook on my computer and sync to my Windows Nokia Lumia Phone 925.   Any ideas?
