Calendar subscription does not refresh

Anonymous

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.

    I too am seeing this issue.

    The last sync date was 3 days ago (even after unsubscribing/resubscribing)

    "Rest assured that we our doing our best to find fix to this issue as soon as possible."

    Did you chuckle a little on the inside when you answered with this?  One of the largest tech companies in the world can't figure out how to sync a calendar, yet they want us to trust it with purchasing their OS, phones, and Xbox's -- all presumably more difficult than this.

    Unbelievable.

    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".
