Version 2.4 (Build 12214) released 2/14/2024:
  • Changes behavior in the event of potential conflicts. If an item is changed in Outlook, simultaneous changes are now still applied by the end device, as long as no synchronized data fields have been changed.

    • 1. Offline: Device is not connected and there is no data available when the device was last connected. The icon of the device is grayed out.
    • 2. Online: It shows for several minutes that a device is connected or has been recently. The device's icon is displayed in blue, but changes to gray after 30 seconds.

    • Find duplicates: Searches an Outlook folder for duplicates and similar items and allows you to quickly clean up found duplicates.
