GMail and Google Calendar integration

[Davide De Bella]

Hi All

do you know how it's possible using MLO in to GMail and related Google apps in chrome?

I'm moving from Outllook to GMail and it seems that my existing hundreds of rows created with Outlook+MLO will be lost because I cannot manage these information in to Google Word.

Is there somebody who can help me?

Thanks a lot

Davide

Sorry Davide - MLO has integration with Outlook, but not Google Calendar.  I think someone posted a work-around where they sync'd Google Calendar with Outlook and then sync'd MLO with that copy of Outlook.

One good point, you shouldn't lose the items you already have in MLO - Though make a backup of your outline, just in case...

I tried a while back to integrate into Google (when the Android version wasn't out yet). At least then, Google tasks were just waaay too basic. I decided it wasn't worth the effort.

 

What is the goal? Or have Google tasks improved?

I would really like to be able to see today's to-do list and today's appointments together in a single, well-designed, easy-to-use agenda page. Google owns my appointments and MLO owns my tasks, so I would like to see some way of getting them in synch with each other. One way to do that would be to export today's to-do list to Google tasks. Have not found a way to do that after a couple of years of wishing for one. I even tried synching MLO tasks to Outlook and then synching Outlook tasks with Google. My conclusion was that it would work, on the condition that I was willing to allocate all my time to making this complex process run. I would need to accept that fact that there would be no time left over for actually trying to get anything done.

The alternative would seem to be importing today's appointments from Google to MLO, and getting some consolidated agenda view out of MLO. Apparently this is now available on iPhone and is in development on Android, so I think I'll wait and see if I can make it work for me.

Stéphane many thanks for your reply. I've tried but there are too many passage and 3d part software. Many thanks

Outlook crashes for me so I stopped using it a long time ago.  I tried to use it again this past week only so I could have MLO work with my google calendar but, it still crashes - event though it's the latest version.  I have a lot of stored emails and outlook wants to download all of them .  I'm not able to just use the calendar feature in outlook without being forced to use the rest of the program. 

 I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TO ALL OF THIS JUST TO BE ABLE TO TO MLO WITH MY GOOGLE CALENDER.  Excuse my rudeness in using all capitals but, seriously, this is something that users have been asking for quite many years now and MLO has yet to accommodate our wishes.   I don't get it.  Telling us to use Outlook to use Google is ridiculous.  I'm sure there must be a logical reason why this integration still hasn't happened so, would someone please share that with me?  Aside from this very important issue, I love the program

If you can't integrate it with Google calendar, then at leat create a view that allows us to see out agendas in a calendar format.

I absolutely agree with you, StephanD.

The integration is a must, the ways could be different.
MLO is my unique planning tool and it is NOT possible to plan activities without fully taking into account my appointments on the Google calendar and those shared with my wife or with my friends/collegues. At now I manually duplicate the appointments on MLO. Sigh...

SIMPLE PROPOSAL (less quality, less complexity for developers):
-import as read-only the calendar items and show them as special tasks (in special folders or something similar...), with the same properties of the Google calendar (date, time, recurrence pattern, name of the calendar...).
The MLO filters could give you a full control on them.
This is actually a quite complex work for developers: let us think at the reccurrency patterns set on Google: you would expect that they are fully recognized. And MLO should become able to share data with the Google site, and stay aligned to it when they change some functions on it.

COMPLEX PROPOSAL: not only read-only but also modify.

REMARK: the online connection is a must for both the proposals. And what about the offline working? Without the online connection I could accept to see no appointments of the calendar and no editing if any already picked and shown.

Bye.

It integrates in a Forecast view on iOS at present. When there's an update to the Windows version, I'm sure that's going to be considered since it's on the other platforms.  I think the priority of this is currently lower because on a PC, you can have MLO open on one side and a Calendar on the other. The ecosystem there makes them more integrated than they would be on mobile devices by default.
