I'm trying to display all events that appear on SharePoint calendar on Outlook by using the Connect to Outlook option on SharePoint, but after syncing the calendar on Outlook the event descriptions are all blank as shown below:
Can someone please check and help me with what might be causing this sync issue when I try to connect to Outlook from Sharepoint? The event descriptions are appearing correctly in Sharepoint.
Do you mean that event descriptions are not shown in the outlook like below? As per my test, only event titles can be shown in Outlook. I'm afraid it is by design.

Is there a way to open a modern Microsoft List Calendar in Outlook?
I have created a new calendar using Microsoft Lists. I have created this using the standard Event content type. Is there a way to get this calendar to open in Outlook. If I was using the old Sharepoint style views I could use the "Connect to Outlook" button.
There are some lists that can automatically sync with Outlook, which are Calendar List, Task List and Contact List. However, currently there is no method to connect normal list to outlook.
Have installed the Outlook for CRM 2011 add-in along with Rollup 12 on a Win 7 machine running Outlook 2013. When the user opens an email and click "Set Regarding", she can select an contact, but the email form does not change to show the "regarding pane" at the bottom. The "Track" button does change to "Untrack", so it seems that it is working, just not showing.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled more than once to no avail. It does work on other machines in my office.
You may check the person's personal settings for the CRM in Outlook. If you go under the Email tab there is a check box for "check incoming e-mail in Outlook and determine whether an email should be linked and saved as a CRM record. If that box is checked it may be causing the issue you are describing above.
I have had the exact same issue and making sure that box is unchecked solves it everytime. I've asked in multiple dynamics crm forums, even our Microsoft partner, and no one has been able to explain why, but having that box checked definitely made the regarding fields on outlook emails disappear and not show up.
I have a problem with the SharePoint and Outlook calendar synchronization. When I drag and drop an appointment or meeting from outlook calendar into SharePoint calendar, I can see that it is appeared on SharePoint calendar. Till this, I am good.
But, when I update the calendar item in outlook and sync both the calendars again, I don't see the updated on SharePoint calendar. Same issue with vice versa.
Can any one please help me if you had run into this sort of scenario.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Thanks
This is expected. When you drag an item from a SharePoint calendar to an Outlook calendar, this is a very simple copy. There is no link between the two items. If you change the Outlook appointment, it will not update SharePoint. In other words, the two appointments act independently of each other.
We have been working on an Outlook add-in to solve this issue. The add-in called, ProperSync, allows direct syncing between Outlook calendars and SharePoint. You can find more information at www.propersync.com
Edit:
As a new feature in ProperSync 1.3 (beta now available) users can connect their Outlook calendar directly with a SharePoint calendar. This links the appointments directly. There is no need to drag and drop, just setup the connection and the appointment in Outlook is the same in SharePoint.
Here is a simple video demo - http://youtu.be/6l6mEsqrutU

I am using SHarepoint Workspace 2010. I was wondering if there was any way to somehow make the workspace (or even the site) work with Outlook and save emails in the document repository?
If you want to drag and drop email into any SharePoint 2010 library, SharePoint 2010 allows this out-of-the-box by selecting "Open with Explorer" from the "Connect & Export" section in the Library Tools ribbon in the applicable library. This will open a browser window, into which you may either drag/drop or copy/paste from your outlook window.
This method is exceptionally helpful when you DON'T want to set up the library to receive email.
For this, you have to integrate your outlook with sharepoint.You need to create a list, which will be seen at your outlook as well. Now when you want to send emails you have to save them in the list as well. So your emails will be saved in the sharepoint list.
There is no way of doing it. If you want to share your e-mail with broader audience you can move it to the Outlook public folder.
You could create a list which accepts emails like a discussion and setup an email address for the list in the settings. Then you can go to your Outlook and set up rules to forward emails to the list which fit a certain criteria.
Also, when viewing a list, you should be able to sync with Outlook (Connect to Outlook button) which would allow you to view it in Outlook.
Try Colligo Contributor Pro. It's an alternative for the old fashioned Sharepoint Workspace. You can do everything you want:
add all kind of files to Sharepoint
sync when you want
add emails to your Sharepoint and open them later with your mail program
add Sharepoint libs to your Outlook and sync them
For drag and drop of emails from Outlook to SharePoint we are using SharePoint Outlook Integration tool. PageLight also offers Save Outlook emails to SharePoint functionality
I need to get an appointment into someone's Outlook calendar based on requests from their employees. The application runs in SharePoint (WSS 3.0). My first impressions are to use iCal or send meeting requests, but I haven't done either before & I'm looking for a very quick & easy way to get it done. Any ideas?
Sorry, there's no easy answer that I know of or can find. I'm sure you can do via code but not easily within the SharePoint point-and-click interface.
From this thread it seems writing an event handler on a Calendar list would be the most effective way.
So from a 10,000 ft perspective, you'd build a system or workflow in Sharepoint that results in creating calendar entries in a SharePoint calendar. Then have an event listener whose job it is to create iCal emails when new items are created in that SP calendar.
Brian Wilson (not the Beach Boy) has a few blog posts on getting started with event handlers in SP
actually, you can do it. using sharepoint designer, set up a workflow to add item to list (calendar) based upon entries to a list (either new or edit). then, you'll need to sync outlook with the sharepoint calendar.
