Tracking an Outlook email thread in Maximizer
You can track an Outlook email thread in your Maximizer Address Book using the Maximizer Outlook Integration add-in. When you choose to track an Outlook email thread; you select a Maximizer Address Book entry and any email responses in the same thread are automatically saved to the entry's documents in Maximizer. By tracking email threads in Outlook you can ensure that important email messages are always saved with the related entries in your Maximizer Address Book and are available when you need them.
Keep the following points in mind when tracking email threads with Maximizer Outlook Integration:
- When you start tracking an email thread; only the current and future emails are saved to the selected Address Book entry in Maximizer. Any existing emails in Outlook that are part of the same thread are not saved to the Address Book entry.
- If another Maximizer Address Book entry is added to an email thread in Outlook that is already being tracked in Maximizer; email messages in the thread are not automatically added to the new Address Book entry's documents. If you want to track the email thread with the new Address Book entry as well; you should stop tracking the email thread and start tracking it again to select the new entry.
- Once you start tracking an email thread; all messages in the thread are saved to the documents of the selected entries. If you no longer need to track an email thread make sure that you stop tracking it to avoid filling up the documents of your Address Book entries with unnecessary emails.
