5 Time-Saving Tricks with Easy2Sync for Outlook

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Easy2Sync for Outlook in Under 10 Minutes

Estimated time: 8–10 minutes

What you’ll need

• A Windows PC with Outlook installed (any recent Outlook version)
• Easy2Sync for Outlook installer (download from the vendor)
• Access to the Outlook profiles/accounts you want to sync

1. Download and run the installer

1. Open your browser and go to the Easy2Sync for Outlook download page.
2. Download the latest installer and run it.
3. When prompted by Windows/UAC, allow the installer to make changes.
4. Follow the installer prompts and click Finish when done.

2. Start Easy2Sync and choose a sync mode

1. Launch Easy2Sync for Outlook.
2. On first run you’ll see the main wizard. Choose the sync mode appropriate for your task:
   • Sync between two Outlook profiles on the same PC
   • Sync between Outlook on two different PCs (via network or shared folder)
   • Sync with an Outlook PST file
3. Select the mode that matches your setup.

3. Select source and target

1. Use the browser in the app to pick the source Outlook folder/profile. Typical choices: Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, or an entire mailbox.
2. Pick the target Outlook folder/profile or PST file.
3. Verify both source and target paths shown in the wizard.

4. Configure basic sync options

1. Choose direction: Bidirectional, One-way (source → target), or One-way (target → source).
2. Set conflict handling: prefer newer item, keep both, or prompt (choose prefer newer for automatic runs).
3. Optionally enable filtering (e.g., sync only certain folders or items by date).

5. Run a test sync (recommended)

1. Enable the option for a “test run” if available (the program will simulate changes without writing).
2. If no test option, run the sync once and review the summary for unexpected deletions or merges.
3. Confirm results in Outlook: check a few contacts and calendar entries on both sides.

6. Schedule automatic syncs (optional)

1. In the wizard or Settings, enable scheduled synchronization.
2. Choose frequency: every few minutes/hours or at logon.
3. Save the schedule—Easy2Sync will run in the background per your settings.

7. Final checks and best practices

• Backup important PST files before first full sync.
• Start with Contacts or Calendar to validate behavior before syncing mail or large folders.
• Keep Easy2Sync updated via the vendor’s site.
• If syncing between PCs, ensure network shares are accessible and permissions set.

That’s it—Easy2Sync for Outlook should now be configured and running. If you run into issues, consult the vendor’s support or log files for detailed error messages.
