[Athen] Google Sync

[Susan Kelmer]

I was hoping there was something new out there, but there isn’t. These are not plug-n-play solutions, which I desperately need (don’t have the hours to spend learning how to make it all work), and some of them sync google to outlook, when I need to sync outlook to google.  Yes, those are different things.  This has become a huge frustration for me.  I wish Google and Microsoft would get it together and make it work.  We are a Microsoft campus, with Google being pushed on us (docs, drive) and the two REALLY need to work together better.

I guess I’m still stuck doing it manually for now…

Ron,

You could also try gSyncit (note: I’ve never used it myself) if you need to sync your contacts as well as mail and calendar.

If you don’t care about contacts then I’d do mail via an IMAP connection and Calendar via one of the mechanism outlined at

Good morning ATHENians,

I had not realized Google-Outlook Sync had been end of lived. Has anyone figured a good work around. Not using Outlook is really not a viable option at this point.
