Add2Outlook Release Notes
Upgrade Add2Outlook using these instructions
Add2Outlook does not need to be uninstalled prior to an upgrade. Add2Outlook and the Add2Outlook Toolkit can be upgraded directly over the older version, with Outlook Closed. When deciding to upgrade, find your version from the prior release notes below. Scan up through the versions to the current release and if there is any "mandatory upgrade" anywhere between your version and the current, it is a mandatory upgrade to become current and consistent again in replication. Make sure you have valid software maintenance prior to the upgrade so you get the upgrade for free, and there is no re-licensing necessary. If your software subscription expired, you no longer get the upgrades for free - call for a quote at (813) 977 5739 or email us. Note the software maintenance date in the Add2Outlook Console, next to the folder folder type and number of relationships.You can upgrade for free on or before that date.

Error in Event Viewer: Mapi_E_Call_Failed Line 2924: "Sent to" appointment field Validated before field is synchronized. Found a user who had a blank field and it should normally have a value. It would just not copy that appointment and go on to the next. Now if it is blank, we sync the appointment and just don't sync that field and it resolved the issue.

Mandatory Upgrade
Solves Line 870 In Relationship Microsoft Cursor Pointer Event Issue.
The main issue addressed in this build was consistency. Recently the releases focused on gaining speed. We were successful, but found the technology can be too aggressive in some environments and provided inconsistent results. We tried within the last series of builds to use our own “session” to sync instead of using Outlook’s logon credentials to synchronize but basically BUT, we found some hosted environments don’t play well with that technique and A2O was at times on certain networks, stopping the second session from logging into Hosted Exchange via the Outlook Profile in order to do the Add2Outlook synchronization. Basically the hoster would close the information store and Add2Outlook couldn’t get the folders and then the items to synchronize, putting the relationships in Alert Status as a false positive.
To resolve this, we integrated the option to use either Outlook’s current logged in session (a small tad slower) or use a separate session by using the current Outlook Profile loaded. The default install will be to use Outlook’s session. Some speed is gained by not using Outlook’s, not much, but with our own session the user gets a little more responsive Outlook feel while A2O is is synchronizing. In a slower hosted environment you’ll see a bit slower response times for Outlook during the synchronization process, but syncing has to be able to be configured to replicate consistently every time. We added the faster option if it could be supported for that installation. This is a mandatory upgrade if you have any prior version of Add2Outlook.
