I got an email yesterday from the beta team at Mimecast letting me know that there was an update for the Outlook connector. The upgrade is very straight forward, install it over the top of your existing installation. So I installed it and then opened outlook and went in to my Mimecast account.
The first thing I noticed was that where before I was seeing the emails as plain text, now I was actually seeing the emails as a formatted email.
There have been a few other tweaks on the connector such as an option to send through Mimecast even when exchange is online.
I have to say I am very impressed with Mimecast on the whole, this Outlook Connector is the icing on top.
One thing I am not too sure yet and will ask Mimecast is when rolling out is there a way to configure the Mimecast account on the users profile automatically? we are a pretty small sized company of just 270 users but having to configure 270 Mimecast accounts will prove to be a bit tedious and time consuming. I'm guessing that there must me a registry key you can import/export? and then the users just input their password? If there is anyone who has any ideas on this or wondering the same thing please leave me a comment.
