DocuWare for Outlook can now use import configurations created in Connect to Outlook to archive emails. When a user selects a configuration in the add-in, the defined storage location, indexing, format, and attachment handling are applied automatically.
Application
Centralized configurations let administrators standardize how business email is stored across teams. They reduce per-user setup and enforce consistent storage locations, indexing, and file formats.
Here's how
Ensure that at least one email import configuration is defined in DocuWare Configurations > Outlook Email > Manual Storage. No migration of existing configurations is required.
DocuWare for Outlook uses the same permissions as Connect out Outlook. So grant the Use permission to the relevant users or roles in the configuration’s Permissions tab so the configuration appears in DocuWare for Outlook.
For on-premises systems, ensure the latest DocuWare Desktop Apps are installed.
In the add-in, users can store automatically with a selected configuration or store emails manually per message.

Information: Classic Microsoft Outlook retirement
This update aligns with Microsoft’s plan to retire Classic Outlook in 2029. As Classic Outlook is phased out, the Connect to Outlook module will be discontinued and will subsequently exit support. The DocuWare for Outlook add-in is the supported path for the new Outlook and maintains existing email archiving workflows.
