I've got a few accounts on my phone, and the calanders are set up to sync.

When I look in the outlook app I can see the outlook events as expected.

When I use the Samsung Calender app (preferred), the Google Calander app, or any other Calander apps the outlook Calander has issues.

Some events appear, others don't, some seem to disappear etc. I think it's to do with android and the syncing of the Calander, but I'm not sure what.

I've used the reset account button in the outlook app, and deleted and re-added the account.

I had a lot of trouble with this, but it works now, so hopefully I can help.

Just to check, when you say the calendars are set up to sync, do you mean they're set up that way in the phone's settings? Because there's also a setting in the Outlook app itself which needs to be on and it's not immediately obvious.

If you go into Outlook settings, then near the top, look for 'Mail Accounts'. You should see your email address - tap it, and you'll be taken to a screen called Account Info. The third option down is called 'Sync Calendars' and needs to be switched on.

This was what sorted it for me and allowed me to properly sync Outlook events with my phone calendar.

Hope that does the trick! :-)

This is on already :(

Oh ok. That's annoying. Not sure what else to suggest, sorry. Hope you find a fix!

Just for additional context, are the Outlook connections Exchange, or standard IMAP/POP?

Its a personal free outliok account. So not really sure. It wouldnt be exchange or POP. I guess it's O365 authed and however the phone sets it up.
