How to Synchronize your MS-Outlook Calendar to Windows Phone?

Synchronization is the process of establishing consistency of data flow between source location to destination location or vice versa. If you are an Outlook user then this process can help you in your daily work routine. Every time, it is not possible for any user to turn on the system & start Outlook application to check the schedule for the whole day.

         If you synchronize your MS-OUTLOOK account with your Windows phone then you can access your important information anywhere at any time. You can check your schedules such as important meetings & can also set other reminders like reminder for paying the bill, policy premium submission and many more activities through this process.

Synchronization Types:

One Way Synchronization: In One way synchronization, updated data is copied from a 'source' location to destination, but no data are copied back to the source location.

Two-Way Synchronization: In two-way synchronization, updated files are copied in both directions, i.e. from source to destination and vice versa for keeping the two locations identical to each other.

E.g. synchronizing your MS-OUTLOOK calendar to windows phone is the proper example of two way synchronization.

To proceed, firstly MS-OUTLOOK calendar is transferred to Microsoft accounts and then from Microsoft account to your Windows Phone.
