Installing MAPI Connector for Outlook 2003
03 Aug 2005 13:52
This is
a quick reference guideto help with the configuration of
MAPI
Connector from
CommuniGate Systems with Outlook 2003.
The MAPI connector can be downloaded here: http://www.communigate.com/content/download.htm#mapi.
At the time of this posting MAPI conector is distributed as a .zip compressed package with two files:
The connector is installed with the binary named setup.exe. My system gives me the option of 'Upgrade' because I have an older version installed.
After selecting "Upgrade" or "Install", you can configure your email profile in Windows without opening Outlook.
This option opens the Windows native "Mail Setup" tool to configure the CommuniGate Proaccount. This tool is also available from the Windows Control Panel.
= 
The "E-mail Accounts" option contains CommuniGate Proas an option. If this is a new installation you can select to add a new account.
Select Additional Server Types to use most all of Outlook's features with your account.
The option "CommuniGate Pro Server" exists because the MAPI Connector is installed.
The Next window displays the configured accounts.
Clicking Change will open server configuration options:
There is a Windows connectivity tab:
Advanced options include the ability to subscriber to other folders, Calendars, Address Books and more.
Troubleshooting helps if technical support is needed.
After all of our configuration is complete we can launch Outlook. If there is more than one Outlook Profile configured, this feature is compatible with CGP.
You also have the option of working connected or without a connection.
With the first connection Outlook and MAPI conector will create all of the account folders needed for collaboration and PIM services.
The manual of CommuniGate Pro explains Free/Busy information is published a the method for subscribing to others users Free Busy information to check their availability.
CommuniGate Proalso offers more advanced features than Outlook has with Exchange. Server Side rules for email is one example.
This is a server-side rules example.
The CommuniGate Pro PKI to encrypt, sign, and decrypt messages in outlook or webmail using the private and public keys of the user generated by CommuniGate Proor valid certificate generation system. This option does allow escrow keys if the admin or another user must have decrypt ability in the server PKI configuration. The Rules Engine can also be used to automatically encrypt all or some messages based on criteria.
CommuniGate ProSIP services are also integrated with Outlook and calls can be placed directly to contacts in your Address Book.

A new SPECmail World Record!
01 Aug 2005 20:54
Thom
informed me last Friday that
the Standard Performance Evaluation
Corporation (SPEC) officially approved CommuniGate Systems' (CGS) SPECmail test
results for 2 million and 2.5 million users. CommuniGate Systems is
now the world-record holder for email servers. Results have been
officially posted here:
http://www.spec.org/mail2001/results/
Sun Microsystems previously held the highest score with 1.5 million "virtual users". I believe Mirapoint also had the lead at some point in the past. One of my favorite things to point out is that there is small allowance for errors in this test, but CommuniGate Pro finished the test with no errors. CGS was also asked to join a SPEC subcommittee. We are very thankful for the support of our customers and partners who helped make this possible. I cannot thank our talented engineers and developers enough for all of the hard work they put into our product.
