CardDAVSyncOutlook

A small tool to synchronize the address book of Outlook with a CardDAV implementation (e.g. the address book of an OwnCloud user).

!!!Make sure to have a backup of any important data before using this tool!!!!

The 'User Field 1' of all synced Outlook contacts is automatically overwritten! In almost all cases it does not contain any data.

Usage

Just extract the Zip archive and run the CardDAVSyncOutlook.jar file (Java >= 7 required).
From command line: $ java -jar CardDAVSyncOutlook.jar
(command line arguments are shown with $ java -jar CardDAVSyncOutlook.jar -h)

On the first run use the "initialization mode" if there are already synced contacts (see below)!

FAQs

What is the "initialization mode"?

In "initialization mode" the synchronization ID is set for contacts which are totally equal.
This is useful when there are already equal contacts in both address books and you're running this tool for the first time. After that, start the synchronization in default mode to copy new contacts.

I have more than one address book. Can I set up multiple accounts/server URLs?

Yes, by creating multiple configuration files. E.g. copy your config.properties file in conf folder to config_2.properties and specify the new config from command line:
java -jar CardDAVSyncOutlook.jar --config conf\config_2.properties
Now change the server URL and Outlook address book (aka "Folder"). Each configuration should use a different URL and a different folder.
