Keep Outlook information in sync across teams and groups is a powerful, roductivity enhancing improvement. A clever tool makes synchronizing Outlook folders across different users and PCs easy and affordable.
23 March 2010. – Many Outlook users have asked Microsoft for a synchronization feature to update and synchronise Outlook folders across their work team or among colleagues. It is quite obvious that synchronizing for example calendars across co-workers could be immensely useful. Unfortunately Outlook was developed for personal computers and Microsoft has not released a synchronization utility for Outlook, though it is not necessary that each team member registers new contacts in Outlook, as one can enter the details and pass the contact file on to other users.
Synchronizing Outlook in the background
OLFolderSync is the easy to handle tool, joining multiple Outlook-installations. In this process each can define which folder to allow being synchronized. It is also possible to exclude private elements from the synchronization process or to sync only objects of a defined category. OLFolderSync can work with all Outlook folders in principle, excluded by default are only the folders “Draft”, “Inbox”, “Outbox”, “Deleted Items” and “Sent Items”.
How does synchronization work?
OLFolderSync exchanges the Outlook-Folder data by email in the background, while the PC can be used for other processes. The machines do not need to be online simultaneously, as OLFolderSync can finish the task automatically the next time Outlook downloads emails from the server, with the application taking care of the Outlook-Folder data being saved to the right folders. Sven Ilius of the developer “Somebytes” states: “The programme does not need any user intervention apart from installing and setting up the application once.”
Configuring the tools is straight forward. After installation a new tab is added in the folder properties, to set up the synchronization. To add synchronization partners it suffices to enter their e-mail address. Sven Ilius: “The application caters for business users, who can also encrypt their sensitive data. The data on the other end can then only be used with the right password”
