Kerio Outlook Connector
Kerio Outlook Connector is an extension to MS Outlook. It allows scheduling and sharing
different types ofdata. Thanksto this module, MSOutlook is able to work with groupware data
(contacts, calendar, tasks, notices) stored in Kerio MailServer. 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:
•If you need to work with your email also in offline mode, it is recommended to use Kerio
Outlook Connector (Offline Edition), a special version of Kerio Outlook Connector described
thoroughly in chapter 6.
•Kerio Outlook Connector provides support for digital signatures. The function and settings
for digital signatures are described in standard MS Outlook help.
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 5.12.2).
