Have Windows 10 installed on my computer and the latest version of Outlook v2.1.172 installed on my S6 Android mobile phone. All my email updated on the S6 when I installed Outlook for Android but of course that data is fed from my ISP’s server, my problem is Calendar where the data is stored on my local machine. I’ve tried twice, installing and uninstalling ‘akrutsync’ following the instructions to the letter for the S5 and above to no avail, I just cannot get my Calendar data to sync. ‘akrutsync’ shows a sync as having taken place but nothing bar the email that was already there in the first place, shows. If I’m doing something wrong, I’d like to know what it is.
Hi Tony,
Thank you for the details. This is the process of how AkrutoSync works: It is installed on a computer running on Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 with Outlook 2002/2003/2007/2010/2013/2016/Office 365 with Outlook 2013 or 2016. The root source of its data is the PST or OST file of a POP3 or IMAP email account from Outlook. It can sync Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes (it depends which type/s you sync) to Android phones/tablets, Windows mobile phones/tablets, and iOS devices (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch).
Any entry in your phone for Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes (it depends which type/s you sync) that are not in Outlook on the computer WILL NOT SYNC thru AkrutoSync since the root source is Outlook’s Data file on the computer.
For Calendar and Contacts – you can manually transfer them from the phone to your computer and import it to Outlook on that computer using NON-AkrutoSync tools. Here is the guide: https://www.akruto.com/backup-phone-contacts-calendar/
For Tasks and Notes – we do not have an official guide on how to manually transfer them to Outlook in your computer from the phone. You can check online for other tools that can do that.
Once Outlook on the computer is current (updated and complete) for Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes (it depends which type/s you sync) – that is the time we recommend you delete all entries for Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes (it depends which type/s you sync) on the phone and finish the configuration of AkrutoSync in your computer in order for the initial sync to occur.
For Calendar in Android – it does not sync to Outlook for Android but it syncs to the native Calendar app of the S6 which is called Calendar or S Planner. In order to sync with Outlook for Android, the Exchange account that you added on the phone that is linked to AkrutoSync, you can add it as a new account in Outlook for Android app.
