Anyone have a good method (which actually works) to sync contacts between Outlook 2007 and Gmail?

I tried Google Apps Sync. Didn't work. (and I'm actually using a google apps premier account.)

I tried GOContact Sync. Didn't work.

I tried SynContact2007. Wouldn't install.

I tried Soocial. Outlook connector sucks.

Or should I actually try to give up outlook in favor of Thunderbird at work, which seems like blasphmey?

Google Calendar Sync works fine...why isn't there a google contacts sync?

Have you contacted Google about this? GA Premier Edition offers 24/7 customer support.

In reply to hobbie, #2: They offer it, but good luck getting them to respond. The last issue took over a month, and it's well reported that Apps Sync is buggy.

Can't you just export your contact list and import it in to google?

In reply to jack, #4: That's not the same thing as sync. He wants to be able to add/remove/update contacts from either place. In reply to dark54555, #1: I know you've probably looked, but did you check to see if Google Apps Sync is syncing to a non-default contacts folder? If it's trying to be "exchange-like" it could be syncing to a global address list. Just grasping at straws here.

In reply to jack, #4: Yes, but then you'd need a duplicate removal system and have to constantly be importing/exporting. I'd like it so if I update one, both have it (and then my iPhone has it, since you can trick the iPhone into pulling contacts from Google pretty easily) In reply to PrincessNybo, #5: I only have one folder since I'm not actually migrating from Exchange.

In reply to dark54555, #6: It was a long shot, but sometimes there are hidden folders that don't show up in your contacts view. You have to actually open the address book window and click that drop-down box to see them. Otherwise, it's looking like contacts sync is just in the very early stages and still pretty buggy right now. I'm not sure what else to tell you.
