I am going to ask a question that I have seen similarly asked but not really answered.... directly or AT ALL easily.  I have outlook 2013 on a local PC.  Is it or is it not quick and easy to sync data from these two applications (one local and one in cloud).  This data would include contacts, calendar, email tasks, etc?  This seems like such an obvious integration question my head is spinning with all the links back and forth and none of them really answer the question. 

Outlook on the local pc is configured to send and receive email in a pop3 environment.  I am not connected to an Exchange Server.

I have established an outlook.com account with the alias of the same pop3 email.  I want to be able to work either on outlook.com or outlook 2013 and have the two apps update each other...  contact edits in one, show up in the other.  Calendar items added or deleted in one are mirrored on the other.

Am I missing something?  Is it really difficult to accomplish this?
