Oracle Outlook Connector is a calendaring and messaging service provider that gives the Microsoft Outlook client access to Oracle's calendar server and any IMAP4-compliant e-mail server including Oracle9iAS.
Users benefit through enhanced calendaring features, real-time scheduling, and access to all the other benefits of Oracle's Unified Messaging solutions, including wireless access and full interoperability with a wide range of clients.
Administrators benefit from the scalability, reliability, and availability of a standards-based, application-specific infrastructure.
Oracle Outlook Connector 3.4 includes a number of new features and enhancements:
For detailed information on the new features and resolved limitations, see the Oracle Outlook Connector release notes.
This help describes the new mail and calendaring features that Oracle Outlook Connector makes available to you, and explains how Outlook's behaviour will be different from its behaviour when running against a Microsoft Exchange server.
Because Oracle Outlook Connector does not change most of the basic tasks and options available in Outlook, such as creating and sending e-mail, those tasks are not described here. For help with these tasks, see the Outlook online help or your Outlook user's guide.
For all other information, consult the product documentation supplied on your Oracle Collaboration Suite CD Packs or online at Oracle's Web site.
If your Oracle Outlook Connector installation was successful, everything should be ready for you to use Outlook for managing your mail and calendar.
You can modify your Outlook profile to configure certain Oracle Outlook Connector preferences and change a variety of information about your user accounts on the mail and calendar servers. For more details, see the Configuration section of this help.
It is also recommended that you disable Outlook Add-ins that are specific to Microsoft Exchange, to avoid confusion with Add-ins created by Oracle Outlook Connector. For details, see "Configuring Add-ins".
