    I've long battled with birthday synchronisation between Outlook and Google specifically I'm unable to totally delete birthdays. My ex's birthday was in Outlook and therefore it's in Google. Delete from either end/both ends but it always reappears ;-)

      I have specified that only Google data is synchronized to Outlook, so if I delete the birthday on google it is deleted from Outlook. But I don't really want to delete it from Google, I just want it not to sync to Outlook. Is there an option to do that?

    it is not possible to disable syncing of some type of appointment. Birthday appointments are generated automatically by Outlook/Google. You can avoid them by moving birthday date to notes field.

    I'll show support for this request. Moving birthday to notes is an inappropriate use of the named fields. The request then would be to disallow the birthday from being copied into Outlook. Same purpose: prevent Outlook from auto-generating birthday calendar events.

    Development team: could it be possible?

    Regards, Jeff
