====== Outlook to iOS Sync ======

This guide describes how you can sync between Outlook and iOS devices using an ownCloud server appliance and OutlookDAV 6.3. Besides ownCloud, any other WebDAV server could be used.

===== Tools =====

^ Tool ^ Version ^ Appliance ^ Sync ^ Cost ^ Support ^ Maker ^
| OutlookDAV | 6.3 | Windows Service | fast ((Asia/Seoul //timezone// was mapped wrongly. The developer fixed this within a few days.)) | 15 USD p.a. | developer, fast | [[http://www.outlookdav.com|Comodo]] |
| WebDAV Collaborator for Outlook | 1.6 | Outlook Plugin | fast ((every sync had 1 error, which I could not resolve)) | 29 USD o.t. | no support ((after changing the license to a new machine the plugin would not work, and Bynari refused to help)) | [[http://www.bynari.net/product/bynari-webdav-collaborator/|Bynari]] |
| cFos Outlook DAV | 1.65 | Outlook Plugin | slow ((Outlook freezes during sync)) | 10 EUR o.t. | not tested | [[http://www.cfos.de/en/cfos-outlook-dav/cfos-outlook-dav.htm|cFos]] |

I tested many different sync solutions. OutlookDAV and WebDAV Collaborator were the only tools which actually worked. OutlookDAV runs as a windows service, which has the huge advantage in that it does not slow down Outlook or make iresponsive during syncing.

Before you sync, consider to delete unused address entries, and [[win7:outlook#Delete or archive older calendar items|Delete or archive older calendar items]].
