Question:

The requirements for the hardware are determined by Microsoft: If Outlook 2003 or higher is installed on the computer and it is executable, you can use InLoox PM.

Client requirements:

  • For the InLoox PM installation, Windows XP (with Service Pack 3) or higher and Office 2003 or higher is required.
