Outlook account on android

Cheetah Designs · 29 Oct 2015 at 15:55

I have an outlook account which has my emails, contacts and calendar in.

I like to use this on my android phone and have two way sync. I know I can get an outlook app but I would like to use the Google apps if possible.

How can I achieve this?

You can use the Gmail app to connect to Outlook via IMAP. Don't think you can get away without the Outlook app for Contacts and Calendar though.

Download the above and restart your phone. Will enable exchange services in gmail (push etc). Brings across calendar but not sure about contacts.

This. I can also confirm it works for contacts, calendar and emails.

Seems dodgy. Also it says its for Android 4.4+, do I still need this if I am on 5+? I have a Samsung Galay S6 Edge.

4.4+ means its only for devices with 4.4 and higher.

Yes its safe to use, was recommended on this forum a few times and has worked for everyone I know of. The website is good for getting all the updates a little faster

Although I would pick the April 30th one as thats targetted for 4.4 and not 6.0 (which should work better).

It's been extracted from Nexus devices, APK Mirror only hosts legit copies of APKs (as long as the APK itself is free).
