• Kerio Kerio Connect Outlook 15 For Mac Free Download

For many Kerio Connect customers, Microsoft Entourage is the email and groupware client of choice. We made the decision years ago to support Microsoft Entourage operating in the Exchange mode, which provides calendar and contact synchronization on top of the usual email, and it has been a hit. Microsoft earlier this year announced a new version of Office for Mac with an update of its default groupware client - both in functionality and name. Outlook 2011 will replace Entourage 2008 in the new Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 suite, planned for a late October launch. Outlook for Mac 2011 is different from Entourage 2004 and Entourage 2008 in many ways.

The most important change affecting Kerio is the complete replacement of the underlying protocol architecture - Entourage mostly relies on WebDAV for Entourage-Exchange data synchronization (of email, contacts, calendars), whereas the new Outlook 2011 uses Exchange Web Services. That is a big technological change, overshadowing most of the feature improvements in Outlook. Development work is well under way for full synchronization of Outlook 2011 and Kerio Connect using the Exchange Web Services architecture, and it will be part of the upcoming new version. As is customary with us, we will publish several beta versions of Kerio Connect 7.2. The first public one will be ready in about a month, and will revolve around CalDAV and CardDAV, as well as feature an early preview of EWS for Outlook 2011. We will have to perform a thorough QA testing of Kerio Connect and Outlook 2011 once we get our hands on the final, shipping version of Outlook 2011. If you want to be part of that process, check out our Beta Section where all betas are published.

While Microsoft makes Outlook 2011 compatible only with Microsoft Exchange 2010 and 2007 SP1, Kerio will support Outlook 2011 much more widely - Kerio Connect server runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, or as a self-contained virtual appliance on VMware and Parallels hypervisors, which is just one of many things that make it so successful with SMBs. We can't wait to get Kerio Connect 7.2 into as many hands as possible. Stay tuned for more.

Quote: I completely agree that nobody who needs to work with his Mac Outlook should install the new version right now. It is also still not released by MS for others except Office 365 owners. So it is still ok to not support it, as the number of people having O365 AND a Kerio account might be quite small. As soon as it IS opened to the public, e.g.

As part of a new 2015 Mac Office suite, I would however expect Kerio to support the new version days or weeks after release of O2015. Especially as OL15 has been available for quite some time now (almost 3 months).

Kerio Connect to Outlook Versions. Turgs Kerio Solution tool support to migrate Kerio to Outlook and Kerio to PST format conversions. The software easily Kerio connect archive to PST format with all the mailbox items such as contacts, calendars, emails with attachments, etc. Kerio Export to PST with Kerio to PST Exporter application.

3 months is not really a lot. Lot of code and a lot of testing.

In my opinion, Outlook 2011 had very weird stuff going on with Kerio. We just got rid of it, for most users was hard at the beginning, but now, they don't miss it. They learned how to do things differently and we are happy very much with out it.

But this is something I can say I did just because my end user works for me. As someone said already. If you give them time, they will deploy it in the near future.

Eirikw wrote on Mon, 09 March 2015 05:11 I'm very sorry to say that the lack of Exchange Web Services 2010 support in Kerio Connect is starting to push us towards Office 365 and mail in the cloud. My opinion is that this missing piece is crucial in order to keep customers using Kerio Connect as an Exchange alternative.

And it has been ever since Mac OS X 10.8, especially with CalDAV not working properly. The train is starting to leave the station.

You're crying over something that isn't even necessary. I've been using IMAP mail, CalDAV, and CardDAV hosted via Kerio Connect for a very long time.

I don't need EWS. I'm curious about how it will work, but it's just curiosity. You seem to forget that Kerio is only on piece of this puzzle. Apple has to fully implement the functionality as well. Sure, the've been supporting Exchange since Snow Leopard, but it hasn't been perfect, and it's still not. If you're hosting onsite, that might be the root cause of your issues. I have found that Kerio Connect hosted in the cloud on CentOS has been far more reliable, and faster than an onsite server.

If you want to go with Office 365 and just be another customer among millions, and get low grade tech support, have at it. I'll stick with Kerio. Kerio listens to our concerns, and they have the best support I've seen with any vendor that I've worked with. Regardless of what some think of Outlook for Mac, Microsoft Office is still a major standard in the business world and some of our clients prefer to work entirely within the Office apps, including Outlook, availing themselves of the integration features offered. I just found out about Outlook v15 and am hopeful that it will address some of the abysmal performance issues of Outlook 2011 for my clients. I've long characterized Outlook 2011 as the 'Vista' version of Outlook for Mac, i.e., it was released, but not yet ready for prime-time!

My hope (and that of my long-suffering clients) is that this new version of Outlook is now more polished and its code written in such a way that it will perform much better than Outlook 2011. So with that said, we need to have Kerio Connect support this product. I'm concerned that it's been out for quite a few months, but reading between the lines, Kerio's position seems to be: 'We'll get to it when we feel like it.' I sense no urgency to support a publicly released version of a mainstream piece of software.

This is not good. To say that people should just stick with Outlook 2011 or shouldn't be using Outlook at all is against the philosophy that most of us have that the choice should be up to the users what they want to use, not dictated by others because they themselves don't happen to like a particular piece of software, or they feel it's unimportant. Outlook is what these clients want to use, Outlook 2011 has performance problems, a new version of Outlook has been officially released for months which may address performance issues, and clients should be able to use it if they so choose! It needs to be a major priority for Kerio to support this publicly released, major mainstream software title ASAP. The mindset should be to give the users what they want, not tell them what they should want. Down that path is customers fleeing to other mail server solutions! Kerio, please advise as to your intentions and priority for supporting this product.

Tony Dennis TCM Consulting Kerio Preferred Partner. @Tony Dennis: I agree entirely. @Howie IT: EWS IS necessary, especially since CalDAV is faulty and not reliable with OS X Calendar.app. The latest update did not do anything to CalDAV.

Don't get me started on Outlook 2011. I'd like to see EWS 2010 support in Kerio Connect to enable EASY setup for Mail.app and Outlook 2016. The cumbersome integration installers doesn't do it for enterprise deployment.

It seems to me that Kerio is putting a lot of work in the Kerio Connect client, a part of the software that our users only use as a last resort. Are any Kerio customers actually using Kerio Connect Client as their main email platform? It might also be that the server side of EWS 2010 is closed source from Microsoft (I haven't found anything about that) and that SOAP services are a pain to develop, but still, when it works, client setup is a breeze on all platforms, just as with ActiveSync. Microsoft actually made something good there! There is actually an open source PHP project that incorporates EWS 2010 support, might be something for the Kerio developers to check out:. OK, it's a client side code, based on Microsoft's reference:.

There shouldn't be very much work to update the EWS part of Kerio Connect, given a bit of priority.

CalDAV has never been a problem for me or my customers. If you're having problems with it, you should reach out to Kerio and try and get it fixed. I'm not against EWS.

In fact, I'm testing it right now as I write this. Outlook 2011 and Entourage before it, have been a total disaster. What's worse is that a lot of people think that they must use Outlook.

I have been able to show a lot of customers that it's not necessary. When someone has a really large mailbox, Outlook is the worst mail app to use. Maybe the new version of Outlook will be better, but I haven't seen anything about it yet that shows that it will be. Until Kerio Connect officially supports it, I won't be testing it out fully. It seems to work well as an IMAP client, but my mailbox is tiny compared to those of my customers. Hopefully Microsoft actually made real improvements to Outlook for Mac, but for now I regard it as the worst Mac mail client.

@Howie IT: the best feedback I can give you is a recommendation to understand that what is and is not important to you is not necessarily the same as what is and is not important to others. The vast majority of computer users feel that Windows is by far the best computer platform and that Mac users are deluded and need to switch to a 'real' OS. Would you be comfortable with them trying to impose their views on you, or expressing exasperation about your wish to use to what they feel is an inferior computer? Sharing information and expressing one's views is what boards like these, not to mention our society, is all about!

I just think you and the other posters here will be more comfortable if everyone shares their thoughts without feeling the need to judge what others feel is important to them. Live and let live, you know?
