Kerio Outlook Connector is an extension to MS Outlook. It allows scheduling and sharing different types of data. Thanks to this module, MS Outlook is able to work with groupware data (contacts, calendar, tasks, notices) stored in Kerio Connect. The main benefit of the shared data store is that the data is available via the Internet anywhere necessary. To access the data, you'll need just an Internet connection and a web browser (the Kerio WebMail interface) or MS Outlook with Kerio Outlook Connector or MS Entourage.

Kerio Outlook Connector also includes Help which can be triggered from the MS Outlook's toolbar (Help → Kerio Outlook Connector Help).

TIPS:

Note

All settings relate to MS Windows XP and MS Outlook 2003. If you use a different version of MS Outlook 2000 or MS Outlook 2007, the settings may differ (see chapter 6.13.2  Installation and configuration of MS Outlook 2000).
