Google Calendar / Exchange / Outlook Web Access sync

7

6

May be impossible but..

My firm uses Exchange Server (version 5 I think), with no POP3/IMAP access. So when I'm out of the office, it is down to Outlook Web Access. And my laptop is running Ubuntu, so it is a pretty poor experience.

What I would like is for my Outlook calendar to sync itself with my Google calendar (or with anything Linux).

Try davmail - it allows access to your exchange calendar via ical. The way I use it :

  • configure davmail with my corporate outlook
  • In thunderbird (I am to TB3 beta) , create a calendar (iCal) which points to the davmail configuration

Now, I can access outlook via thunderbird.

Not sure if this solves your problem, as it does not by default "syncs" to google etc.

You may want to look into Google Calendar Sync.
I use it to sync my Google Calendar with my Outlook at work. I do not know if it works with the Web Access variant of Outlook, though.

Doesn't work through web access as far as I can tell. It needs a proper Outlook install. – Gary – 2009-09-03T22:44:33.260
