Hi ,

I wanted to know that Is there any way that we can integrate MS outlook wiith Sugar 6.1 community edition. Though the community edition does not support the installation of plugins by which the plugin for the MS Outlook cannot be installed.

I was referring to the previous versions of sugar and found that sugar 5.0 (Community Edition) provided the support for Outlook Integration though I am not sure whether sugar 5.0 CE supports the functionality of plugin.

Just wanted to have opinion of all about any tweak or sugar apps available which can integrate MS outlook with Sugar 6.1 Community Edition

Thanks

Mak

Just a point of clarification, there is nothing in Sugar 6.1 that would keep you from installing a plugin. The only barrier would be whether or not the plugin in question actually supports 6.1 (i.e. has it been tested against that version of Sugar).

What has changed since 5.0 in relation to MS Outlook is that the plugin that Sugar itself produces is no longer available for purchase for CE users, as it once was.

That being said, there are a couple of third party Outlook plugins on sugarforge.org that do the job just as well. Perhaps the 2 most popular are GrinMark MS Office Plugin and Kinamu Outlook Connector. Give those two a look.
