User Authenticating Access to CRM and Outlook
To configure the end user's email inbox, select 'Activities' > 'My Sync Settings' in CRM which will bring up the login screen where the credentials need to be entered to sign in to CRM. After a successful sign-in, the IMC connection status should be Green.
To connect to the user's email account:
- Click on the Gear Icon in the "MAIL SERVER CONNECTION STATUS"
- Select the Office 365 option.
- Sign in using your email credentials.
In this section, the user can change Email credentials as well as troubleshoot failed synchronization jobs.
Note: as soon as the end-user is successfully signed into both, CRM and the email inbox, the integration will perform the following steps:
- Add-in will be installed (refer to 'Add-In Installation' for additional information).
- Email inbox will be prepared for synchronization (refer to the next section below).
- Synchronization will be enabled (refer to the next section below).

Syncing Contacts, Emails, Meeting and Task
Prerequisites
After the server-side integration is set up and the user's inbox is initialized, the integration engine will create the following inside the respective groupware system:
- In Mind Cloud Folders under Contacts, Emails, Meeting, Task
