Additional Comments
Outlook Connector requires Windows 2000 or higher and Outlook 2000 or higher to function.
If you are planning to import data from a PST file, make sure to run scanpst.exe on the file first and compact the folders to help prevent corrupted messages from being imported into the OC profile. Scanpst is located under C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 and comes with Outlook. Note that multiple passes with scanpst may be needed.
