Hi John,

 

Thanks for the suggestion! I do see the benefit in the domain shared calendar having the ability to be shared to Outlook. I'm not sure about the development plans for this as I'm not in that department, but I just wanted to make you aware of a workaround that can be used to accomplish similar functionality. If you have a spare mailbox that you can use, create a user to be used only for the calendar. You can then use the Shared Resources feature to share this out to all of the users on that domain. When your users attach this calendar they can then use the Add to Outlook functionality.

 

Hope this helps! 

I second and third this nomination ...

 

Not only would domain calendars being used on Outlook be helpful, but having a way for Admins to automatically attach them to accounts and then send account holders the link to install would be beneficial. Trying to explain to your entire office (and remote offices) how to do this is rarely successful initially.

 

Aside from that, I'm not sure why they bother with domain calendars if they can't be shared via Outlook, since web interfaces are not used by default - usually only as a "perk" or when they are away from the office or home. The mail server is direct linked to a client usually.

I 4th this nomination. I have a few new customers who are asking for this option !!

Yes, this would be a really good feature to have as many customers would like lets say have vacation planning in a central place.

 

We need some Exchange features to help get some of the bigger accounts out there....

I agree this is a much needed feature, as this is available in competitor products specifically exchange and many clients use outlook as their preferred client of choice.

Hello everyone,

 

Thank you for your participation on this thread! I am happy to report that this functionality is planned for a future version of SmarterMail. I don't have more details at this time, but please stay tuned!
