How to register and activate the RMail app for Microsoft Outlook
1. Open Outlook.
2. Complete the required one-time registration process for the RMail service necessary for these processes:
- The RMail App for Outlook uses a token to verify the identity of the sender for added security.
- File Share, Large File Transfer service, uses an asynchronous web services connection to securely upload to the RMail Cloud. The one-time log-in is required to confirm the identity of the sender using this feature.
3. The registry is written when the MSI is run during installation. If the App is pushed out to multiple users, the registration wizard appears when the user starts Outlook with the Add-in running if the user is not already registered.
4. Open Outlook and click on the activation link in the RMail Activation Email sent from support@rpost.com. If you do not see the activation email in your inbox, please check your junk mailbox.
5. Your account should now be active to use the RMail app for Outlook.
6. Press New Email and make sure you have the new Send Registered RMail button.
Note: The registration wizard will appear on Outlook startup. It will continue to appear on startup until the user registers. If they press Cancel the wizard won’t reappear until they either restart Outlook or try to use some RMail functionality.
