#4631 - activating outlook plugin in outlook

Closed Bug? created by hans2 a year ago

Up to this point, I have successfully installed the available outlook plugin in CRM but It seems like the plug-in for Outlook 2013, on premise install, does not work as Outlook expects an .EXE file.

Could you please advise? Thanks, Hans

    Hi Hans,

    Are you using a Microsoft email account? (other providers e.g gmail, yahoo etc are not supported)

    Your desktop version of outlook needs to connect to a Microsoft exchange server, either on premise, self hosted or part of the office 365 suite to enable Outlook Add-Ins

    Please check if Add-ins are available using the following steps:

    In Outlook, click Home > Get Add-ins on the ribbon.

    Hi, Been there, done that. There are a number of add-ins available there. None of them is a suitecrm add-in. At 'get add-ins' at the ribbon, Outlook is expecting an .exe file. The plugin does not have that.

    Hi, sorry that I get no response on this issue. I have quit the trial and will try to find a working solution somewhere else.
