Differences with our Outlook Classic add-in and the Office 365 one

Features not supported

-Explorer (Options menu)

• Add Tag
• Reply and Tag
• New Email
• New Appointment

-Compose (email)

• "send and save" and "Prompt and Send" buttons are NOT available. This is due to API restrictions. However we have a "Save" button that allows you save the email in compose mode before you send it.

• Open Task Pane will not match on the email in TO

Also Note that Outlook on Mobile/Smart phones is not supported

To keep the task pane open Pin the task pane (otherwise when you change email it will close)

Removing add-ins

You can log into outlook on the web and then in the same browser open https://aka.ms/olksideload find the add-in in the Custom add-ins section of the dialog box that lists your installed add-ins. Choose the ellipsis (...) for the add-in and then choose Remove to remove that specific add-in.

And from there remove the add in. Sometimes though in your Outlook Classic client things get stuck and so you may need to manually clear the cache. Follow the steps below (at your own risk):

1. Close Outlook.

2. Open the Run command by pressing the Windows key + R.

3. Type %localappdata%\Microsoft\Outlook\ and press Enter.

4. Delete all the files and folders in the folder that opens.

5. Restart Outlook and check if the new version of the add-in is removed.

--Historical Method--

The Office 365 manifest install uses the URL

AC Pro Version 5.2

 Office365 Manifest AC 5.2

• Note: AC Plus users should use the manifest url on page https://accelerator.crmtogether.com/index.php?title=AC_Plus_Client_Install

• • Note (9 Nov 23) Microsoft have removed the option to add from a url and so you have to save the manifest and add as a file. In 2024 we will have the app on the app store removing the need for all this.
