SimpleSYN Version 6 released

December 5, 2022

As of today, the new main version 6 for SimpleSYN Standard and Business is available for download.

Version 6 supports Windows 11 and Outlook 2021 and has been extensively improved and optimized in many areas. In addition, we have given version 6 some new functions and upgraded the business version with some extras. To improve working on a shared calendar in everyday office life, reminders or categories can now be excluded from synchronization. The reading status of e-mails can now also be set to a specified value during synchronization.

Many improvements (e.g. improved connection establishment, revision of the Outlook add-in, easier selection of folders in the synchronization settings) and optimizations complete the upgrade..

Installation instructions:
An existing SimpleSYN installation will be replaced by the installation.

Note about upgrading from version 5:
All data is transferred during the upgrade from version 5 to version 6. The data transfer and the updating of the synchronization status takes place automatically during setup.

Please do not cancel this process, otherwise all data will be resynchronized!

When upgrading from older versions, SimpleSYN must be set up again. The initial synchronization will be run through once again.
