If you’re anything like me, you have multiple gadgets — desktops, laptops, smart phone, tablet, etc. — that you use to work from. Now, I LOVE Outlook — it does everything I need it to and it helps keep me organized. I have my email set up using IMAP, so that my mail is synchorinized. In other words, if I delete it on my phone, it’s also deleted from my laptop and desktop. But what about the task list in Outlook? This has been a minor annoyance for me, so I decided to look into a little bit.
I stumbled across a blog post, Sync Outlook Tasks Between Two or More Computers. Don’t let the 2008 date fool you, this method works, and it works great. I’m not going to provide the step-by-step for you, as it’s provided for you on that post, but essentially what you do is create a free account at Toodledo and install the sync application on each computer you’re using.
I was a bit hesitant about the sync application, as it’s no longer supported or updated, but let me tell you, it works. I’ve tested it successfully in both Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 and it has worked flawlessly. Furthermore, since you’re syncing with Toodledo, you can access your task list from any machine that has an Internet connection.
If you sync your Outlook tasks in another way, please feel free to share in the comment section below.
