[17979] Added support for Automatic Update Service Feature in 64-bit OC version. It is a feature that keeps your client up-to-date with the latest OC releases. When you have auto update enabled, it will check for updates. When updates are available, the user will be prompted to upgrade. A popup dialog box will prompt the user to either install the updates or be reminded later. If the user clicks "Yes", Outlook will shut down, the latest updates will be installed and Outlook will restart after the installation. The initial installation of the OC client requires a user with administrative rights to manually install the auto update service. The auto update service handles the update deployment, allowing users without administrative rights to install updates. The auto update service must be running for the auto update feature to work. The Automatic Update Service Feature for 64-bit OC version requires MDaemon v16.5.0 or higher.

CHANGES AND NEW FEATURES

[2941] The directory where OC stores attachments can now be configured in the account's config.xml <attachDir> setting. A blank value means use the default, which is the "Attachments" subdirectory of the local cache location. To better support roaming profiles it can be changed to a non-roaming local or network location.
[8216] OC client settings can be managed via MDaemon's Centralized Management feature. Outlook Connector settings can be pushed to the Outlook Connector users. This feature requires MDaemon 16.5.0 Pro. You may access this feature in MDaemon via "Setup|Outlook Connector" and configure default client settings to push to all OC users of all domains. Please refer to MDaemon 16.5.0 release note for additional information about MDaemon's [8526] Centralized Management of OC Client Settings feature.
[9399] Outlook Connector will attempt to automatically discover settings. Users only need to provide their email address and password to connect to the MDaemon server. When the user clicks Test & Get settings Outlook Connector will try to find the server by testing common FQDN values.

For IMAP, it tries to authenticate to mail.domain using the dedicated SSL port, then the non-SSL port with TLS. This is repeated for imap.domain, the domain name, and then imap.mail.domain. If all attempts fail then non-encrypted logins are attempted.

For SMTP, it tries mail.domain using port 587, 25, and then 465 first using SSL and then TLS. This is repeated for smtp.domain, the domain name, and then smtp.mail.domain. If all attempts fail then non-encrypted logins are attempted.

If Outlook Connector is able to successfully authenticate then the incoming and outgoing server information along with the SSL/TLS information is configured.
