Requirements

Revised March 2, 2010

•To install or upgrade ViewMail for Outlook, you must have local administrator rights on the user workstation.

•The user workstation must have at least 2 MB of hard-disk space available for ViewMail for Outlook.

•The ViewMail for Outlook version must be supported with the version of Microsoft Outlook that is installed and the operating system. (See the applicable section in Compatibility Matrix: Cisco Unity Connection and the Software on User Workstations at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/compatibility/matrix/cucclientmtx.html, depending on the Connection version.)

•ViewMail for Outlook can be installed in only one language at a time on the user workstation. (If a second language is installed, the first language is automatically uninstalled.)

•The user must belong to a class of service that allows access to Connection voice messages by using an IMAP client.

•If a user needs multiple IMAP accounts attached to a Connection server, then a separate Outlook profile for each account is required. ViewMail for Outlook supports only one IMAP account attached to a Connection server per Outlook profile. (Although a user can create multiple Connection-attached IMAP accounts, the accounts will not work as expected.)

•The user must have an email account in Outlook configured to access Connection voice messages. (See the "Creating and Configuring an Account to Access Cisco Unity Connection 8.x in Microsoft Outlook" section in the "Configuring an Email Account to Access Cisco Unity Connection 8.x Voice Messages" chapter of the User Workstation Setup Guide for Cisco Unity Connection at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/user_setup/guide/8xcucuwsx.html.)

•If the user email profile has an Exchange account, the Outlook setting Cached Exchange Mode must be enabled. (The setting is enabled by default.)

•To install ViewMail for Outlook in a language that uses non-Roman characters on a workstation with an English operating system, both the Regional Options tab and the Advanced tab of the Regional and Language Options tool in Windows Control Panel must first be set to that language.

Installing ViewMail for Outlook 8.0(1)

ViewMail for Outlook can be installed on user workstations throughout your organization in a number of ways. Installation and deployment methods include:

•Installing ViewMail for Outlook from a disc or a network drive. See the "Installing ViewMail for Outlook 8.0(1) from the Cisco Unity Connection Disc or from a Network Drive" section. Alternatively, consider providing users with network access to the ViewMail setup application and a procedure so that they can install ViewMail themselves.

•Using a software publishing tool—such as Microsoft IntelliMirror or Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)—to deploy ViewMail for Outlook to multiple user workstations at one time. For information on using either of the tools, see the Microsoft website.

•If you use IntelliMirror, deploy ViewMail for Outlook by assigning or publishing it to a computer, rather than to an individual user. You can also use IntelliMirror or SMS for future upgrades of ViewMail.

•Deploying ViewMail with Microsoft Office, as part of the Office 2007 or Office 2003 suites.

Caution When installing a new version of Microsoft Outlook on user workstations, you must first uninstall ViewMail for Outlook. After you have installed Outlook, reinstall ViewMail. Otherwise, ViewMail for Outlook will seem to be installed properly with the new version of Outlook, but it may not work.

By default, ViewMail for Outlook files are installed in the directory C:\Program Files\ViewMail for Outlook. You can specify a different directory during the software installation. (See also "Files and Registry Keys Installed and Used by ViewMail for Outlook" section)

Installing ViewMail for Outlook 8.0(1) from the Cisco Unity Connection Disc or from a Network Drive

Do the procedure in this section to install ViewMail for Outlook on user workstations from the Cisco Unity Connection disc or from a network drive. You can also install ViewMail for multiple users who share a workstation.

Step 1 Confirm that ViewMail requirements have been met. See the "Requirements" section.

Step 2 Browse to the ViewMail directory on the Cisco Unity Connection 8.0(1) DVD or on the network drive where you downloaded the ViewMail files.

Step 4 Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
