Existing app for synchronizing between Hotmail/Live Mail and Outlook?

Hi there!

Not a developer question but maybe it becomes one...

Exists there an application which is able to synchronize Contacts, Calender, Tasks and Notes between Hotmail / Windows Live Mail <==> Outlook?

So if I create a contact in my Hotmail or my Windows Live Mail accound I can then sync it with my local Outlook and then I can sync it from Outlook to Pocket PC, Smartphone... So a user needs to create a contact only once and can it use in Hotmail, mobile phone etc.

If there is no such application available can you give me a starting point how to do (C#.NET)? How does MSN Messenger (Windows Live Messenger)?

Kind Regards,
hfrmobile

I'm also interested in this functionality. At the very least something that can export the Live Cnntacts to XML or some other such format to be imported elsewhere...

The end result being synchronicity with a Palm or CE device... This is the holy grail of contact management.

I just found a way which makes it possible to sync Windows Live Mail with Outlook?

But the help contains the following:

Access your e-mail account from Microsoft Outlook
You must have paid for a Windows Live Mail subscription to use your account with Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Express.

FYI: Meanwhile it is possible to export/import contacts as .csv but still no sync here ;-)

Microsoft has done a great job improving Hotmail with Windows Live. They should now focus on a sync function between Outlook and Hotmail (Contacts, Calendar, etc.) Exporting to a CSV file and uploading is too cumbersome.

Yes... but it may take a while until MS offers something convenient ;-)
