I have tried AkrutoSync, General Sync, & BirdiSync. All of which did not sync properly. BirdiSync, immediately delete every entry in Calendar on the Phone after I imported all from the PC, Why? I also tried AkrutoSync, it worked fine as long as Outlook 2010 was running but did not update the TB 102 cal and duplicated every contact on the Outlook personal address book. Why can't you make standards for this stuff? How is it almost every SYnc program out there is trying to use Google.com to do the syncing. Why, because they want to capture our data. Why do I need to involve Google when I'm just Syncing cal and contacts from too the PC and Phones. I don't use Google.com for Contacts and Calendar. I'm ready to give up on Thunderbird.

Just to be clear, The AkrutoSync worked fine until I added TB to the whole process.

Just to be clear, we do not recommend any sync software at all.

What is recommended is to use a caldav / carddav providers and allow all devices to sync to that source. Generally speaking yahoo, google and GMX all offer these services for free, and the net is full of paid services for business use.

I googled AkrutoSync and it appears to be some sort of product that is outlook.com/Exchange calendar specific, so I am guessing you are using a Microsoft proprietary calendar, so your stuck in a land where open source and open standards protocols don't work.

If the issue is a Microsoft proprietary calendar, then you will need appropriate addon and as of now they only support versions to 91
