Outlook configuration
In this Tutorial you can find the procedure for the configuration of Outlook for the communigate e-mail server on Windows. The configuration as an ActiveSync-client, as described here, allows to easily access the communigate calendar and the contacts, which is not that easy if you configure outlook as POP3/IMAP.
Precondition: E-mail account at the AIP
Please start outlook first. If you start outlook for the first time you will be asked whether you want to add an e-mail acount. In this case please tick "Yes" and click on "Next" afterwards.
