Re: sync/import with google calenders?

Using Windows Live Mail ?
- No

Via the web site(calendars.live.com)
- Import(Yes), sync(directly by import no, update via subscription, yes)
- http://help.live.com/help.aspx?mkt=e...oject=Calendar
Click on the above link, when the page loads look in the left hand pane for instructions(How do I import from calendars from third
party calendar programs and the web)
- You can import into an existing calendar or create a new calendar or subscribe to a new calendar
<qp>
Note
Calendars that you import from ICS files aren't updated after you've imported them, and won't reflect any changes that the calendar
owner makes until you import a new version of the ICS file. However, if the ICS file is published online, you can subscribe to it.
When you do this, a new version of the ICS file is imported whenever the calendar owner makes a change to the calendar. In this
way, you'll always have the most up-to-date version of the calendar. For more information, see Subscribe to an online calendar.

Subscribe to an online calendar
When you import a calendar into Windows Live Calendar as an ICS (iCalendar data exchange format. One of the file formats for the
iCalendar standard calendar data exchange format. This format allows you to exchange calendar information between different
calendar programs. Importing an ICS file provides a snapshot of the events in the calendar at the time of import.) file, you get a
static calendar that doesn't update until you manually import a new version of the ICS file. However, if the owner of the calendar
has published the ICS file online, you can subscribe to the online calendar, known as an iCal (Internet calendar. An online
calendar that you can subscribe to and receive updated events whenever the iCal owner updates the calendar, as opposed to importing
an ICS file, which provides only a static snapshot of the calendar, which doesn't get updated.) . Whenever the owner of an iCal
that you're subscribed to makes changes to the iCal, the events that you see in the calendar are updated shortly afterwards so that
you always have an up-to-date version of the iCal.

</qp>
Once imported or subscribed, and the data is present in the web interface...re-Sync Windows Live Mail's calendar.
