GO Contact Sync Mod

Project Information

About this project

GO Contact Sync Mod is an open source tool to synchronize your Microsoft Outlook contacts with Google Mail. With this tool you do not need to enter your contact details more than once, always have the latest version everywhere: in Outlook and in Google. Contact categories are supported, as well as contact photos to make your contacts look exactly the same. You can set up sync options to start up and synchronize automatically, so it is the perfect backup tool.

This project adds various enhancements and bug fixes to the currently (presumably) dead project Go Contact Sync.
