Sync Outlook 365 (email, contacts, calendar and notes) with android phone

First off, thanks for the prompt reply.  Next, before I purchase additional software, I wonder if I might be able to try two other solutions.  My first idea was to change my Office 365 Home to an Office 365 Business subscription (not sure they let me do that, but I can try) which supposedly allows an app called OWA to sync.  But, would my Rogers/Yahoo type account still impede this for the reasons you gave or would this solve my issue?  My second idea was to get another email from someone who does allow/support EAS and then add that account to Outlook.  I would still get my Rogers/Yahoo emails on the other email applications on the phone, but maybe the new email address would allow the Outlook contacts and calendar syncing.  If this were the case, any suggestions on which email server/provider to use (i.e. @live, gmail, etc.)?  once again, your insight and attention is very much appreciated.

i have a rogers.com email address from here in Canada (if that makes a difference). 

Rogers uses Yahoo for their backend email services which doesn't support EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) nor is it a hosted Exchange account. What is supported is configuring the email account as either POP or Imap - neither if which provides syncing of contact/calendar info which would be retained locally on a given device but will sync your email if both the desktop and S3 configure the account as IMAP.

You may want to take a look at the Outlook sync software provided by the folks at CompanionLink which will enable you to sync your phone to your desktop for contacts and calendar.

Hi Support Community.  looking to sync my office 365 home outlook email, contacts, and calendar to my Samsung Galaxy S3.  i have a rogers.com email address from here in Canada (if that makes a difference).  I have tried the MS Exchange server thing and couldn't figure that out.  I could set up just my email, but it's the whole outlook i am looking for.  any help is greatly appreciated.  thanks in advance for the time and effort.

I feel conned by windows 8.1 and office 365, these are utter rubbish and certainly not fit for purpose.

I purchased a new laptop as my old one running on XP bought in 2006 had died (using office 2003/2007) this used to work very well syncing emails and calendar entries.

I also have another laptop with windows 7 and office 2010 all works well.

Now I come to the worst piece of software I have ever encountered.

I cannot sync my outlook calendar with my android phone, I have tried using a gmail account to forward via, also same with an outlook.com account. All claim that you can open and forward all your email accounts through one account.

I have tried just about every tip I can find on the web, searched for additional apps.

Microsoft must fix this problem as the product is not fit for purpose and I for one  intend going to trading standards as it clearly does not do what it says on the packet and judging by this forum I have plenty of evidence to back my action up

Since you have provided no details as to what type of email account is involved or what process you are following on your other systems.............

If you are referring to not being able to sync your Driod phone with Outlook '2013 - the desktop client - then you will need to contact the software vendor that provides the sync software. Outlook (any version) has never provided any capability to sync directly with any device - that is the purview of 3rd party sync software providers.

There are two types of "sync'ing" - the first between the email client (on whatever device, computer, mobile etc) and the email account and second between the email client and any other device or application. Using Outlook '2013 has no impact on the former (device <--> email account) and the second (Outlook<-->device) is not done by Outlook as stated above.

Outlook '2013 syncs mail/contacts/calendar etc with an Outlook.com when configured as an Exchange ActiveSync account (EAS) or when the account is an Exchange account. Only mail is sync'd with an Imap account so not sure what you are referring to about it "not doing what it says on the box".
