Atmail 6.6 - Atmail with Outlook Sync Addin

After a limited public beta, Atmail 6.6 features the public launch of the new Atmail Sync for Outlook Add-in for use with Outlook 2007 & 2010. This custom developed Outlook Add-in enables you to sync contacts and calendar data between Microsoft Outlook and Atmail Server making it easy to access these details from any internet connected web browser or synced device.

Atmail Sync adds the ability to have your important address book contacts and calendar events back-up to your Atmail sever and makes it easy to sync between Outlook and multiple devices (like your smart phone or tablet) as the new Outlook sync utility uses the open-standard CalDAV (calendaring) and CardDAV (contacts) protocols.

Installation

Download Atmail 6.6 from the Client Portal
Then update your email server to Atmail 6.6 – see instructions on how to update your mail server
Next follow the step-by-step instructions to install the Outlook Add-in

CentOS 6 RPM Distribution

Atmail 6.6 heralds a additional path to install Atmail on your server. Starting with CentOS 6 as a preferred distro, Atmail 6.6 can be added simply by running yum -nogpgcheck install atmail6.rpm at the bash prompt. See the full install instructions and where to download.

RPM’s make it very ease for Linux users to try out all Atmail has to offer quickly by making installation super simple. Try Atmail on your server now.

WebAdmin Power

Email server Administrators will like the new powerful features added to the WebAdmin section of Atmail 6.6. Admins no-longer need to be on the terminal as some common administration tasks, such as changing network settings, rebooting the server and updating Atmail versions are built into the online GUI.

Update Now

The Atmail online demo and downloadable evaluations have been updated to 6.6 for you to try. If you are an existing customer with an active licence you can download the Atmail 6.6 update from the Client Portal.

Warning: Outlook sync is buggy. Is this Outlook plugin released still in beta? When should we expect the stable / final release to be published?

While the Outlook Sync for Outlook Addin is a public release we are still developing it further. If you have found repeatable errors please raise them in the Atmail Help Forum

@Frank – the Atmail Sync for Outlook connector does do two way syncing, however on a sync it will simply pull down from the Atmail Server and replace local copies. When you edit/delete/move an event it should push that change back to the server replacing its content.

In regards to ‘deleting’, there should be no issues. If you feel you have found a bug in the Add-in, we have a dedicated support channel for the new Atmail Sync tool where the issue can be raised: https://help.atmail.com/forums/21142348-atmail-sync-for-outlook-preview

Atmails ActiveSync syncs VCards only in one way from Outlookclient to Web. It won’t work from web to Oulookclient. And I can ‘t delete the Atmail folder in Outlook or delete Vcards in the same folder. It seems to be a rights problem.
