How to Make an Android Phone Work with Outlook

1. Set your Android to accept email. Selecting the messaging icon on your phone to do that. A gmail account--an email account with Google--is required to use the email messaging function on the phone. If you do not already have a gmail account, you can register for one from your phone. This will synchronize your Android to Google and give you access to your gmail account from your Android phone.

2. Install Google Calendar on your computer to synchronize your Android with Outlook Calendar. Using your computer, sign in to your gmail account using the same gmail information you used to set up email messaging for your Android. Follow the prompts to install Google Calendar.

3. Synchronize calendars. Once Google Calendar is installed, you will be asked for your gmail account and password. At that time, you will be given synchronizing options. Choose two-way so that you can use either Google or Outlook Calendar and your appointments will appear in both calendars.
