How to setup Sync Services – Did I do it correctly?

26. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
I have an exchange account and several IMAP accounts setup in Outlook 2011.  I create appointments in both Exchange and in my IMAP emails.  I noticed that the appointments created in my IMAP on devices like my iPhone (synced through iCloud did not show-up in Outlook calendar).  So I setup sync services.  After doing this I noticed that Exchange appointments now show in iCal but still personal appointments do not show in Exchange.  Based on everything I read this appears to be the way it works?

So I am therefore using iCal to view my calendar on my PC as it is the only way to see all appointments - mirroring what I see on my iPhone.  Am I right so far?  This has resulted in most appointments showing up in iCal although there are inexplicable missing appointments occasionally.  I usually resolve this by opening the appointment in Outlook and saving it again - forcing a sync.

In Sync Services I see two accounts - Exchange and On My Computer.  For both I have selected them and then on the drop down list (Outlook folder to add new items to:) I have selected Exchange / Calendar.  I am confused about the logic of these options - I don't know if I set this up correctly?  Thanks for any help.
