    We have tested your manifest file and it imports as expected in Outlook Office 365.

    For Outlook 2021 Classic, is this connected to a Microsoft Exchange server? Are you also using a Microsoft hosted email address or some other third party email provider such as google?

      Is the external server a Microsoft Exchange server?

    The issue is that the client Outlook 2021 does not recognise XML files in add on section

    Thanks for your response. Outlook does not support add-ins in this way unless connected to a Microsoft Server. Third party servers such as Heartinternet are not compatible.

    This is a restriction with Microsoft rather than our plugin.

    Please see our compatibility section here: https://store.suitecrm.com/docs/SuiteCRM-official-outlook-plugin

    As we purchased the plugin, can advise a solution? V3?

      V3 is discontinued and unsupported so no longer a recommended or viable option.

      If you wish to continue to use our plugin, the best option would be to use a compatible mail server as described in the documentation. Either MS Exchange or Office365.

    I think server is Exchange 2016, verifying with Host

    When using Exchange, there are several requirements in place from Microsoft. Please keep these in mind: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/outlook/add-in-requirements
