outlook connector

[Stephen Hind]

My comments follow your questions:


> a) Is it possible to sync all the data so that the Outlook
> (notebook) user has
> everything available at home?


Yes it is: we found an issue with mail synchronisation - the synchronised
mail (i.e. the mail received at work and viewed at home, vica verca) gets
created in the PST file as a draft item.  This means it's difficult to reply
or forward the mail.

NOTE - I must make it clear that Toltec are aware of the problem and work to
fix it.

One easy work-around is to set Outlook to leave a copy of the mail on the
server so Outlook can get the mail both at home and at work over pop3.  This
means that only sent items have this "Draft Item" issue.

> b) Does this connector support shared mailboxes / calendars / etc?


Yes: the mailboxes will suffer from the same problem as above, but if all
you want to do is to look at the mail then that's fine.

Yes again: you can share calendars, task lists contact lists; THIS FEATURE
WORKS PERFECTLY.

Please remember that this just enables Outlook to share items: it does not
keep the mail in IMAP format, it converts it to Microsoft's Proprietary TNEF
format (this is what causes the "Draft Items" issue above - good old
Microsoft).  So you cannot read mail that's synchronised by the Toltec
Connector in a standard mail browser/Kolab Client.
