Less org-mode, more Outlook? Why!?

I still love org-mode, and I still use it every day. I just realized there's one more area it doesn't work well for me.

ericsfraga,

@jtr I feel your pain! 🙁 I still live in Emacs but having to deal with Outlook calendars for work is messy. I've resorted to sending calendar invites to myself from #Emacs (via gnus) and download the Outlook calendar to org using cron every 15 minutes. This way I have both the #orgmode agenda while at the desk and Outlook on the phone (when using a phone without keyboard as otherwise I simply use Emacs).

@ericsfraga @jtr When I had to use Outlook, I was periodically exporting my agenda to an ical file which was queried as a new calendar by Exchange/Outlook.

On the other side, I was able to export my Outlook calendar as ical which got converted to Org periodically as well.

So I had both data sources read-only on both sides.
