22 Jun Outlook Connector v3.6.0 – Multiple Account Support, Automatic Updates and Improved Attachment Handling

Would you find it useful to be able to see the entries in a colleague’s calendar? Perhaps a few of you share a meeting room and you’d like the ability to manage bookings? Maybe you just need an out-of-office responder you can set from Outlook?

Today sees a new point release of Outlook Connector, a highly recommended add-on for MDaemon Messaging Server. It’s the part that provides all of the above, plus lots more ‘Exchange-like’ functionality to help you work more efficiently by collaborating better with your colleagues.

Here are the highlights of this minor update – as always, you can find a more detailed list in the official release notes.

Multiple account support

There’s now support for multiple OC, IMAP, POP accounts in the same profile. Send and receive from Outlook with multiple identities using totally independent accounts, each with their own ‘sent items’ folder.

Improved automatic updates

The current automatic updates only work if the user that is logged into the machine has administrative access to the machine. The new version will update OutlookConnector regardless of the permissions of the user on the machine. This will enable all users (non-administrators) to update OC when it is installed on the server.

NOTE: Initial install of 3.6 or newer requires administrative access on the machine

Improved attachment handling

Outlook Connector will clean up any attachments left on disk that are not referenced in the database. In addition, OC will download message attachments that were previously downloaded but can’t be found on disk. OC is now capable of storing the attachments in a custom location. These changes will improve support for roaming profiles.
