Re: Outlook, Caller ID, Intranet was Idea for new xAP software

Paul,

While the outlook plugin's main purpose is to provide and sync address
book data with the callerid app, it will have some more functions.
Currently the plugin generates an event on new mail and when a reminder
pops up, but only if the mail or appointment is a member of the 'xAP'
category. This should make it pretty flexible as to what generates
events. An event will be both the sending of an alert xap message but
also a configurable sequence of messages for things like message
displays or tts.
