Address book, Calendar, Task, and Notes synchrnoization |  |
|
Notes synchronization needs to be supported by the mobile device. Currently, this includes iOS7+ (e.g. iPhone and iPad) and Blackberry 10+. | ||
Push email updates | |
|
Without Push Email, email is checked manually, or polled or performed using IMAP IDLE (if supported by the device supports). These methods can drain battery-life much faster. It often updates your device more slowly than push. | ||
Device Support

|---|---|---|
Outlook v2013 - v2016 revision 1707 for Windows | |
* |
IMAP for email access is best suited for Outlook 2013+. MobileSync of email is not supported in Outlook due to bugs in Outlook; however, MobileSync can synchronize your calendars, contacts, and tasks. As of Outlook 2016 revision 1708, Microsoft has removed Exchange ActiveSync support from Outlook, and so it is no longer possible to configure it with new accounts that use with MobileSync. If you upgrade from an older version of Outlook, your MobileSync configuration will continue to work. | ||
