Installation of OutlookPoint

Just run the OutlookPoint setup in order to install all OutlookPoint components on your computer. After the installation you might have to restart Microsoft Outlook before the installation is completed.

Once installed you will see a new menu item called OutlookPoint in your Microsoft Outlook application.

 

Configuring OutlookPoint

In Microsoft Outlook menu click OutlookPoint > Settings. On this configuration form you first have to specify the location of your OutlookPoint database. By default this database can be found at C:\Program Files\PresentationPoint\OutlookPoint Standard Edition and is called OutlookPoint.mdb. You can always make copies of the initial OutlookPoint database and start using them.

Choose the items you want to synchronize to your database. You have the option to select mail messages, calendar items, contact information, notes and tasks. Simply set the Enabled checkbox to include or exclude that type of Outlook items.

 

Date filters

To speed up the processing you can put date filters on mail messages, calendar items and tasks. Items only valid in the specified date range are synchronized to your OutlookPoint database.

 

Select folders

After installation OutlookPoint is synchronizing the default folders of Outlook. For mail message your default Inbox folder will be used. Just click the Set folder button to choose another folder to copy the items from.
