MailEnable Connector

Microsoft Office Outlook users who also rely on the traditional Mail Enable Enterprise Premium email hosting service might be requiring a solution for integrating the two.

MailEnable Connector was created to provide a way of integrating people’s Outlook with a Mail Enable Enterprise Premium server.

Being deployed as an add-in, it will offer users the ability to configure their email settings directly from their installation of Outlook.

Featuring both a basic and advanced configuration mode, it offers a multi-tab array that allows one to define the settings for the general aspects, mailbox, outbound messages, connection and even troubleshooting.

By using the General tab of its configuration interface, people can input their email account credentials, a corresponding server address, username, aliases and a short description.

The Mailbox tab houses settings for the server address, port number, mailbox name and login credentials. The other tabs – Outbound, Connection and Troubleshooting, allow people to define outbound email message sending, optimize server connection and perform diagnosis if circumstances require, respectively.

Users must be aware that the used server must be MailEnable Enterprise Premium 4 or later, since this way they will be able to achieve increased performance. Microsoft Office Outlook versions 2003 throughout 2013 is also required and people need to close their email client during the add-in installation process.

Since it communicates with the MailEnable server via the IMAP and SMTP services, the add-in will be functioning over the ports 143 and 25, for a default installation.
