The Outlook Plugin is supported on Microsoft Outlook version 2000, 2003, 2007 and 2010 (2010 64bit partial support only).
The plugin is considered beta and there's currently no built-in help available.
Local User install
Machine install
The plugin requires .NET Framework v2 and the VC++ runtime library to work. The .exe's have the runtime library builtin. If you want to use the .msi and the library isn't already installed, it can be downloaded from here: vcredist_x86.exe.
Option not to upload message body at all.
Setup package for per-machine installation is now available
FIX: on some ocassions, extra two bytes were appended to file.
Outlook 2010 is now supported (except Outlook 2010 x64; note that 32-bit version of Outlook 2010 is fully supported on 64-bit Windows)
Partial, beta support of Outlook 2010 x64
Outlook 2000-2003: Secure File Transfer panel is minimized by default. With built-in editor, it is possible to hide it completely (use Configure form); use Insert → Secure File to insert a new file and show the Secure File Transfer panel.
New messages are no longer saved to “draft” when user hits escape without entering anything
OL2007: Ribbon used to disappear sometimes; this is no more.
When using Exchange: default
SMTP address can now be used instead of first
SMTP address.
This is governed by checking exchange/use_pr_smtp_address node in the login sequence
There's option to add message in front of body (instead of appending it).
When user right clicks and chooses “Send to” from shortcut menu to display dialog window, OL2007 no longer crashes.
The plugin now remembers the last setting of the secure download setting.
The plugin now correctly sets the timeout from the defaults in the appliance.
Credentials are no longer asked for during installation. Instead they will be asked for during first send. If you want to revert to the old behaviour to ask for credentials during setup, please set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AllardSoft\SFT, make dword entry named “SilentSetup” with value 0.
Automatic detection of http/https when connecting to the Secure Filetransfer appliance.
Interface update to make it clearer when a file has been uploaded.
Better reporting of connection/authentication errors.
Various Bugfixes
Please make sure that you have entered the correct server name.
The Outlook plugin uses the proxy setting from Internet Explorer. If you have a proxy on the network, please make sure that it will allow xml posts through, and that the proxy can access the Filetransfer Appliance. An alternative can be to change proy settings to connect directly to the Filetransfer Appliance.
Please make sure that any application aware Firewall, Intrusion Prevention System or Proxy is not blocking connections between the Outlook plugin and the Secure Filetransfer appliance. Please see the
API Documentation for a complete list of connections that will be performed between the Outlook Plugin and the Secure Filetransfer appliance if you want to tweak any such potential traffic blocking system.
