You can automatically synchronize Outlook email, contacts, and calendar with your Android device, for free, without using Gmail, and without installing any third-party software or apps by following the instructions at this link. This is what I do. It works perfectly.

Beware of MyPhoneExplorer! It only handles 16 of the most commonly used Outlook Contact fields, and consequently MyPhoneExplorer destroys the Outlook contacts on your PC by deleting any information in other contact fields, like "Categories", "Business2 Phone", "Other Address", etc. MyPhoneExplorer also doesn't properly synchronize recurrning calendar events.

I only hope that it works better than your link, which appears to be broken.

Luckily, I already, in case you had not noticed, posted a link in my previous post, to your suggestion made on the MyPhoneExplorer Support Forum.

Happily for me, MyPhoneExplorer does exactly what I want it to.

I've never seen any contact corruption. MyPhoneExplorer does only sync certain fields, but it leaves the other fields alone. So, if you have a Business Phone 2 field in an Outlook contact, you can't sync it to your phone, but nothing is deleted.

If you modify the contact using Google (either on the PC or on the phone), you can't modify a field such as Business Phone 2, but syncing back to outlook doesn't delete that field.

My experience has been with both Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 and Windows 7 with Outlook 2010.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, though.

I don't use MyPhoneExplorer to sync Calendar events, I use Google's Outlook Calendar sync instead.

Jimdroid: The last time I used MyPhoneExplorer here's what happened to me. Upon initial synchronization, MyPhoneExplorer failed to synchronize those unsupported contact fields onto the phone. (That's not good, but I could have lived with that.) But then when I resynchronized back to Outlook, MyPhoneExplorer deleted those unsupported contact fields from Outlook.

Upon resynchronization I think MyPhoneExplorer saw a discrepency between the information contained in the contacts in Outlook and those on my phone, so MyPhoneExplorer decided that the contacts on my phone were "newer", and therefore overwrote the "older" Outlook contacts with the "newer" phone contacts (containing nothing in the unsupported fields).

I've been using MyPhoneExplorer for a while and it does the buis for me.

Re overwriting. There are options to 'force' to/from outlook/phone and you get a 'confirmation' pop-up which shows the difference between entry details. This allows you to force either way or abort.

Oh yes. Always have that option on. You never know when "user error" could happen ...

MPE defintelty does NOT delete unsync'd fields. It simply leaves them on the PC.

I want synchronization to work automatically, perfectly, and with no user intervention.

Definitely? MyPhoneExplorer definitely DID delete my Outlook data. In this thread, the developer of MyPhoneExplorer says that the "problem happens from time to time but is very rare".

Sync Android/Droid with Outlook/Exchange is commonly suggested as a resource for those looking for Outlook sync options. I've only used gsyncit and only to sync contacts between Outlook and gmail. I really don't need any other Outlook sync as I'm on Exchange so I can't really comment much on complete sync solutions for Outlook.
