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 1) | 15 USD p.a. | developer, fast | Comodo |
| WebDAV Collaborator for Outlook | 1.6 | Outlook Plugin | fast 2) | 29 USD o.t. | no support 3) | Bynari |
| cFos Outlook DAV | 1.65 | Outlook Plugin | slow 4) | 10 EUR o.t. | not tested | 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 Delete or archive older calendar items.
