Overview

You can synchronize your Microsoft Outlook 2013 and 2016 with Kerio Connect, via EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) protocol.
EAS protocol in Outlook has the following usage limitations:
- You cannot synchronize your email filters from Kerio Connect Client.
- You cannot create additional contact, calendar, or task folders.
- Global Address List does not synchronize to Outlook.
- You cannot share any folders.
- You cannot see contact groups created in Kerio Connect Client.
- You cannot rename or delete calendar and task folders created in Kerio Connect Client.
- You cannot synchronize your drafts and notes or task status.
- Delivery and read receipts do not work.
- You cannot set the out-of-office message.
To avoid these limitations, you can use the Kerio Connect Client instead.
