(also seeHow To Sync Outlook Tasks Between Two or More Computers and How To Get Alerts for Tasks on your iPhone

Let’s start with how you can sync your Microsoft Outlook Tasks to your iPhone for free.

• Step 1. Set up a free account at Toodledo.com The direct link for a new account is right here. That should have taken you about 15 seconds. Let’s move on to step 2.
• Step 2. Close Outlook, download Chromatic Dragon’s Toodledo Sync Application and install it. Almost done! The sync application will want your Toodledo ID number. Leave it open on the tab that wants the ID number.
• Step 3. Log into Toodledo and from the menu on the left select Account Settings. On that page you will see your Unique ID, simply copy and paste it into the sync program that you left open. On the Synchronization tab you can change your Automatic Synchronization to whatever works for you. I don’t add tasks very often so once every 60 minutes is fine for me. To close the Options window select File -> Close. You will see a green checkmark icon in your tool tray. Right click it and hit Manual Sync. Outlook is now synchronized to ToodleDo.

Ready for the iPhone part? Ok, there are 2 ways to do this, the Free Way and the $10.00 way.

Just point your iPhone webbrowser to http://www.toodledo.com/slim and book mark it to your iPhone Home Screen (Hit the + and select Home Screen, I renamed mine to “Tasks”). Now you have the tasks that were in Outlook right there on Your iPhone screen! When you make a change on your iPhone it will sync back to Outlook!
