Press E-mail Accounts button.

On the E-mail tab, select New....

Select Manual setup or additional server types. Press Next.

Select Outlook.com or Exchange ActiveSync compatible service (or simply Exchange ActiveSync in some Outlook versions). Press Next.

Fill in your account details. Use your PhoneCopy username (not email) followed by @www.phonecopy.com as you email and username. Press Next.

Account test should be performed. Press Close.

Press Finish. Now you can close all Control panel windows. Setup is complete.

Your data in Outlook

Now you can run Outlook app. Your contacts, calendar and tasks should be synchronized automatically. Note that PhoneCopy items have their separate folder and calendar in Outlook app. Only these contact/task folders and calendar are synchronized with PhoneCopy.

This guideline also works for similar devices like Microsoft Outlook 2013, Microsoft Outlook 2019.

Now you can easily edit your contacts and other resources online in your PhoneCopy profile. You have access to your contact even if you forget your phone at home.

Some additional tips:

Just as a reminder, the contacts are transferred via your mobile phone service provider, so you need to have data plan activated for the service to work. If you don't have a special data scheme, your carrier will charge you additional fees.
