sync outlook.com & outlook desktop application

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 canC0rn,

    For your concern, please refer to the link that was provided by JR_N.

    @userId,

    You may also refer to **this** link post by JR_N on how to setup the Outlook Connector.

    For your additional concern, may I ask on how did you sync your Google Calendar to Outlook Calendar which led you to sync only one calendar? Perhaps you have missed to share all of your Google Calendar onto Outlook Calendar. You may also refer to this link for more information:

    **Synchronize calendars from Windows Live Calendar into Outlook**

    Thanks!

    Outlook Connector does not work with Windows 8 and Outlook 2013. They keep saying that Outlook 2013 will sync with outlook.com and that you can sync multipal calendars, but there seems to be no place to find out HOW to do that.. Hopefully with the full release of Widows 8 this week, someone will address our issues.

    This doesn't address the issue of keeping two lists, that are constantly being updated, in synch.  It just uploads contacts from your desktop. What happens if you add a contact to Outlook.com from a phone or tablet?  Will Outlook.com then send it to my desktop?
