Two way outlook and Gmail contact sync

Why is this so hard. There seems to be a ton of ways to sync your calendars, but I can’t find a good way to sync my contacts.

Here’s what I’m looking for an easy way to sync contacts between — a gmail account, a gmail for domains account, outlook at home (imap,pop) , and outlook at work (using exchange)

Plaxo seemed like it was designed for this, but they are too interested in their new pulse social network look good, not get two way contact sync with gmail working. Plus with Comcast acquiring them, who knows.

A search of google did turn up gSyncit and OggSync both paid software but I tried OggSync but it doesn’t have a free trial of the contact sync. I’ll give gSyncit a try this weekend. I don’t know if they’ll be able to handle the deplicate detection of the four different accounts.

Anyone else have an easy way to two way sync gmail for domains contacts with outlook?

I have no clue myself. Looks like Google has forgotten to add something that people need in it’s Gmail service, again!

Have you tried GCALDaemon? It does quite a few useful things.

I love Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Talk. But I’m having the same problem as you when it comes to sync-ing contacts. I actually don’t think Google has a way of doing this - but I’m sure they’ll develop a new method soon.

As involved as I am in the internet I will admit I only use paper calendars for this reason. I tried syncing my email, phone, and a few other things before and it never turns out right, so I just gave up.

This is too advanced for me. I never even tried that, since I don’t have enough trust. I’m one of those persons who writes the stuff on the paper and sits in front of the PC. It’s just more convenient for me

@sync
This software looks like it would work great, but its only for outlook 2007 and I have outlook 2003
I tried emailing the my request/support for a outlook 2003 version, but the email got bounced. I tried feedback@goloia.com
and syncontact@goloia.com, neither worked.
If the author/owner of this software sees this post. Please leave a comment.
Thank you,jb

Thanks to Jake (http://www.jakeludington.com/android/20081105_how_to_sync_outlook_with_tmobile_g1_android_phone_automatically.html) I may have found the software we where all looking for. It isn’t free but if it does what I want I’ll pay for the software. Its called Companion link for Google
http://companionlink.com/products/companionlinkforgoogle.html
I hope to test it this weekend.
