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

Just a mention...I don't know what you're all paying $99 a year for...but I have Office365home (2013 now 2016), and as advertised, I can have five users, EACH HAVING it for computer, tablet, and phone. I am not licensing only the desktop version. If you believe what you posted above, someone's losing out.

Hello

I am new to this forum and need assistance with synching my Office 365 personal calendar to an android phone.

Will someone please provide directions and recommendations?

perhaps you do not really read the threads properly. I like many other complain about outlook not syncing with our phones.

Quite frankly you products are appalling in the way we the consumer are treated.

please feed it back to your company all we need is outlook to sync with our phones.

For the sake of accuracy, Outlook - the desktop client does not sync with any device - Win Phone or any other and never has nor do I expect that it ever will. In fact, not aware of any desktop email client that sync's with 3rd party devices.

Devices sync with "email accounts" and NOT email clients - a VERY big difference. To that end - the following provides some info in that regard

It would probably also be worthwhile for you to review the information regarding email protocols

Understanding Email Protocols (POP, Imap, MAPI, EAS)

http://www.contactgenie.info/understanding-email-protocols-pop-imap-mapi-eas

As for sync'ing information - IMAP email accounts are used for syncing only email across devices whereas an Outlook.com configured as Exchange ActiveSync can be sync'd across any device. Similarly, this is also applicable to "Exchange" accounts. Exchange ActiveSync is the email protocol originally designed for sync'ing with mobile devices long before OL'2013. By the same token, if you configure an Outlook.com account as either POP3 or IMAP on a device - you cannot sync calendar/contact items across multiple devices of any kind.

Finally for the record, in regards to your comment "please feed it back to your company" - this is a "peer-to-peer" forum. I do not work for or speak on behalf of Microsoft. The people who respond here are not telepathic so it is impossible to determine whether the "complaints without any supporting details" are the result of (1) a lack of understanding on how things work or (2) there is an actual problem being encountered which brings this back to the question in my previous response

Dear Karl

perhaps you do not really read the threads properly. I like many other complain about outlook not syncing with our phones. Whether it is an Android or IPhone. I am told windows phone work (I wonder why) if my email was "exchange" it apparently does. Or if I by a third party to sync via. I am afraid Microsoft are simply abusing their monopoly , when I buy a laptop I get no other option but to be held to ransom. Quite frankly you products are appalling in the way we the consumer are treated.

please feed it back to your company all we need is outlook to sync with our phones.

I must admit I feel conned I bought a laptop, windows 8.1 and office 365

Is there something unclear in my April 1, 2015 post in this thread to <AngelaRuggiero> about providing specifics which is equally applicable to your and the other <very uninformative> post by <MESHinc>?
