April 4, 2006 --------------------------------------------------- CHANGES AND NEW FEATURES ------------------------ o Outlook Connector now supports grouping. To enable grouping in Outlook 2003, go to View | Arrange By and check "Show in Groups". In Outlook XP (2002), go to View | Current View | Customize Current View and click "Group By...". o Outlook Connector now features an Out of Office (autoresponder) editor. Clicking on the new "Out of Office" button on the OC toolbar brings up a dialog that lets the user enable/disable the responder, set the message text, and the start and end dates and times. MDaemon 9.0 or newer is required. The toolbar button will be greyed out if running an older version of MDaemon, Outlook is offline, or the user does not have permission to edit the autoresponder (see MDaemon's Account Editor's Web tab). o Email sending is now performed in the background. OC saves the message to the Outbox and sends it from there, after giving control of Outlook back to the user. If there is an SMTP error while trying to send a message, OC will generate a non-delivery report in the user's Inbox. o The dialog that pops up when OC cannot connect to the server is improved. The message text is more descriptive and users click "Work Offline" to switch to offline mode rather than "Cancel". When clicking "Retry", OC no longer prompts the user for their password information. o Added support for system folder names (Drafts, Calendar, Contacts, etc) being translated in Outlook but in English on the server. This is to prevent duplicate folders when WorldClient is using English folder names on the server. This is enabled by default for languages that do not have a localized MDaemon (Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish). To enable it for another language, after creating the OC account, but before starting Outlook with it, edit the account's "config.xml" and change "" from 0 to 1. o Outlook Connector honors Outlook's "Send immediately..." option to control whether sent messages go out immediately or if they stay in the Outbox until the next Send/Receive. o An "Apply permissions to all subfolders" option has been added to the Permissions dialog. o Outlook Connector's "Power User" permission no longer includes Create permission, to prevent such users from renaming shared folders. o The GUI for changing the local cache storage location has been updated to be more intuitive. FIXES ----- o fix to Outlook.exe hanging at shutdown o fix to drafts not being sent from the correct account o fix to folder name corruption when moving a folder to become subfolder of Inbox o fix to Advanced Find Sent To search criteria not working o fix to specific email crashing Outlook o fix to not being able to set contact birthday or anniversary o fix to Outlook crash when importing contacts from PST file o fix to incorrect message sizes being displayed o fix to modified attachment of a forwarded message not saved o fix to other users' Inbox folder name not being translated o fix to possible crash importing HTML messages from a PST o fix to Outlook rules not running at startup o fix to some deleted attachment files being left in OC's Attachments directory o fix to body text not appearing when a compose window is opened by a third party program o fix to Outlook 2000 auto send/receive only firing once o fix to duplicate read-confirmation dialog box popup o fix to crash viewing an address book containing a distribution list o fix to invalid characters in the profile name causing Outlook to crash o fix to not being able to send mail if OC store is not the default store o fix to changes to HTML text loaded from OFT not being included in sent message o fix to subfolders of Inbox not being created properly while offline o fix to attachments being lost when forwarding if there are too many (26+) o fix to being unable to create subfolders via Outlook of a folder that contains non-ASCII chararacters and was created in MD/WC o fix to deleted attachment being saved to a draft message o fix to UUdecoding large attachments using 100% CPU or crashing Outlook o fix to some HTML messages being sent with a blank body o fix to inability to display windows-1252 characters in emails mislabeled as iso-8859-1 o fix to Calendar folder possibly duplicating when selecting the "Outlook Today" folder o fix to resending or editing HTML messages on Outlook 2000 not saving body changes o fix to attachments not being sent in the original order o fix to problems when attempting to create a folder with '/' on Outlook 2000 o fix to size of drafts not being updated after saving changes o fix to renaming a subfolder and then moving it to the root folder deleting all messages in the folder o fix to OC errantly issuing the IMAP CLOSE command before logging out when no mailbox was selected KNOWN ISSUES ------------ o Grouping by Category is not yet supported.

MAJOR NEW FEATURES ------------------ o An Account button has been added to the toolbar, which takes you directly to the Account properties dialog.

MDaemon GroupWare clients will continue to function as usual after Outlook Connector is installed on the server. o To begin using Outlook Connector your users must have the Outlook Connector plugin software installed and a new Outlook profile created with an Outlook Connector account. The plugin installer has been placed here on the MDaemon server: \MDaemon\WorldClient\Html\OutlookPluginInstall.exe Your users can also download and install this file from within WorldClient by navigating to their WorldClient Options page. A link to this installer will be available. Creating a new profile and Outlook Connector account depends on the version of Outlook being used: For Outlook 2000, first be sure you are in Corporate/Workgroup mode. This is configured within Outlook itself under Tools | Options | Mail Services > Reconfigure Mail Support. Set up a new profile by going to the Control Panel | Mail dialog. Click Show Profiles ... then Add... On the first dialog that opens select "Outlook Connector for MDaemon" and click Next. The Outlook Connector configuration dialog will appear, populate as needed with your MDaemon account information. Next click Add... again and select "Outlook Address Book" then OK. Be sure to set the "Show profiles" dialog to use the appropriate profile - it does not use the new one unless you tell it to. For Outlook 2002 or 2003, go to Control Panel | Mail, and click Show Profiles. Click Add.., and give the profile a name. Next select "Add a new email account" and click Next. Select "Additional server types" and Next. Select "Outlook Connector for MDaemon" on the next screen and click Next. The configuration options for your OC account will open - populate as needed and click OK. Be sure to set the "show profiles" dialog to use the appropriate profile (or at least prompt for profile when Outlook starts) - it does not use the new one unless you tell it to. Once the Outlook Connector account is up and running, the user's folders will be downloaded from the server into Outlook as each one is opened. IMAP users will be able to access their mail since it's stored on the server, but POP3 mail likely only exists in the user's old Outlook PST file. You may want to add the PST to the profile or import the mail folders from the PST. If Outlook Connector is uninstalled, reconfigure Outlook to use a profile that does not include an Outlook Connector account. MAJOR NEW FEATURES ------------------ o Mail folder support. Mail folders can now be shared without needing to use an Outlook IMAP account. Permissions can be configured for the mail folders. o Single Outlook folder hierarchy. With an Outlook Connector account, users do not need two sets of folders, one for their shared GroupWare folders and one for their IMAP email folders. Users will have only one Inbox, and sent messages will be saved in their IMAP Sent Items folder. o Better Outlook integration. Users do not need to synchronize after changing something in Outlook before it's available to other users. Changes made in Outlook are performed in real-time on the server. CHANGES AND ADDITIONAL NEW FEATURES ----------------------------------- o Initial release FIXES ----- o Initial release KNOWN ISSUES ------------ o Grouping (categorization) is not supported. o iCalendar meeting requests are not supported. o Messages may not send correctly from POP3 or IMAP accounts added to the Outlook Connector profile. o International characters in emails may not be sent or received properly with Outlook 2000. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
