Prerequisites

To use this plugin you will need a modern version of Outlook for one of the supported platforms (Windows, Mac or Web) or an up to date web browser if using Outlook Web Access.

  • Outlook for Windows 2013 or better 
  • Outlook for Mac 2016 or better

According to Microsoft, it may take up to several hours after the installation process for the add-in to appear in your Outlook.

 

Installation from the Microsoft AppSource Store 

For manual installation (not using the Microsoft AppSource Store) see below.

Requirements

  1. You’ll need to have an active Microsoft Outlook or Live account to use the Outlook add-in. If you do not see the 'Manage Add-Ins' or 'Manage Apps' option (for Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016, and Outlook.com) or the 'Store' (Outlook For Mac), check with your admin to grant you access.
  2. You will need your login credentials for Outlook to install the add-in.

 What if I don't see the options to Manage Add-ins or the Microsoft Store?

The Outlook Add-in is built for Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016, Outlook.com, and Office 365 with an email that is hosted on a Microsoft Exchange server. If you don't see the options described below, here are some things to check:

  1. Admin has restricted add-in access: Check with your email administrator to see if they have restricted users' settings to prohibit loading an add-in. This is a fairly common situation and your email administrator can provide you with access to add-ins for the mxHero for Outlook Add-In.

  2. Outlook/Exchange server prohibits add-ins: If you're using Outlook 2010 exchange server, you will be unable to use the add-in. Also, some Exchange server setups prohibit add-ins. Check with your email administrator for more details.

  3. Using Outlook email client, but not Microsoft Exchange: Outlook is an email client, not an email provider. Your email must be hosted on a Microsoft Exchange server in order to enable the Outlook integration with mxHero. If you're not sure what you're using, check with your email administrator, they'll be able to help you out!


If you've checked with your email administrator and you don't think one of these three issues applies to you, contact support@mxhero.com and we can work with you to troubleshoot.
