Synchronization of Outlook folders to Ultra Recall items.

 

An Ultra Recall Outlook Toolbar can be installed by checking the appropriate checkbox during installation of Ultra Recall (you can simply reinstall to add this feature if Ultra Recall is already installed without it.

 

Note: When Info Items linked to Outlook Items are permanently Deleted using Shift+Del or Ctrl+Shift+Del, the corresponding Outlook items are also deleted to the Outlook Deleted Items folder.  This is useful to remove obsolete appointments and tasks which otherwise linger in Outlook data files.  If the Info Item(s) are first deleted to the Ultra Recall Recycle Bin, then permanently deleted, the corresponding Outlook objects will NOT be deleted.
