Microsoft Outlook Settings

The following settings only take effect if your InLoox account is connected to Microsoft 365. The connection is established in the Integration Center. There, you can connect your Microsoft 365 account and manage access to Microsoft Outlook, calendar, and other Microsoft 365 services.

For details on what you can do with the Microsoft Outlook integration, see Emails and Calendar. If you use the InLoox Outlook Add-in, see the InLoox for Outlook documentation.

Prerequisite

To use the Microsoft Outlook settings, you must first connect InLoox to Microsoft 365 in the Integration Center.

Mark Microsoft Outlook emails - add a category

When you file a Microsoft Outlook email in InLoox as a task, document, or time tracking entry, a new Microsoft Outlook category is created as a marker. The email gets the category "InLoox".

This way, you can see in Microsoft Outlook at a glance which email you have already filed in InLoox.

1. In InLoox, click on your profile picture in the upper-right corner.
2. Click on Account Settings.
3. Click on Organization.
4. Under the General tab, activate the slider at Add new category to the Outlook item under Outlook settings.

5. After you have filed an email in InLoox, the category will now appear in Microsoft Outlook above the email and in the preview.
6. In Microsoft Outlook, click Categorize in the menu under Categories and then click All categories.
7. Now you can set the color of the "InLoox" category.

note

These settings apply to all users of the InLoox account.

tip

You can also manage this setting per user in the Integration Center under Emails with the Set category on processed emails toggle.
