Calendar subscription does not refresh

In outlook.com I subscribed to my TripIt calendar feed. In outlook.com I went to Import > Subscribe, and entered the ical feed URL that I got from TripIt. The URL looks like this (redacted for privacy reasons): https://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/private/<<long id here>>/tripit.ics. The initial import worked perfectly and all the events from TripIt show as expected in my outlook.com calendar.

However, outlook.com has not tried to refresh the feed for two days now, and, consequently, changes are not shown in outlook.com. Now, other software in which I imported the exact same feed, e.g. the OS X calendar app and my Google calendar, do see the updates just fine. Only outlook.com does not refresh the feed, at least not in over 48 hours now.

    Hi CedricJOLY,

    I understand that you would like to add a feature that would force the calendar to refresh. I know how important this must be on your end.

    Regarding this, please be informed that this feature is not available under Outlook.com calendar. We would be glad to hear about your comments and suggestions though, you can provide feedback under this **link**.

    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

    Thanks!

    Couldn't we just add a functionality to force the subscribed calendar refresh?

    And/or set the refresh rate?

    Hey

    I seem to be having the same problem. And it is "kind of" very frustrating to re-add the subscription to the calendar every time I want an update. I am also a windows phone 7.8 user and rely heavily on my phone to give me my calendar updates. It's almost impossible to access outlook.com from it and re-subscribe to the calendar just to make sure that I have all the updates on my phone.

    Please fix this issue "speedily".
