Calendar Integration with Outlook - Appointments/Task Synchronization

It appears the add-in to Outlook manages only emails that can be synced to CRM as tasks...and in that process a new task can be created.  If this is correct, my question is how can we synchronize our Outlook Calendar (not just emails) with the CRM?  Also, on a different note, can recurring tasks or appointments be created directly in CRM?

Thank you.
