Outlook iOMailAssistant for Daylite allows you to integrate the functionality known from the regular Daylite Mail Assistant for Apple Mail into Microsoft Outlook as part of our beta test.
System requirements
In general our Outlook iOMailAssistant runs in all current Outlook versions on all supported platforms. However, depending on the Outlook version used, the plan chosen for Outlook and a possibly used self-hosted Exchange Server, an installation might not be possible. Since the Microsoft Outlook world is very complex and individually configurable, we cannot promise that the extension can be installed in your environment. Getting better information on different environments is also a goal of our public beta test.
Please understand that we can therefore only provide you with limited support in configuring your Outlook system.
Please note:
- The Outlook iOMailAssistant is a feature of Plus Package for Daylite (formerly known as Daylite+), which can be trialed for 30 days free of charge. If the iOSXpert PluginCenter is already installed, please install the Daylite+ plugin, to start your trial (How do I install iOSXpert Plugins in Daylite?).
