Note: The UMCal Team strongly recommends against the use of OCFO by non-technical staff or in unmanaged environments. Due to the wide variety of Outlook configurations and differences in mail accounts setups, the provided installation instructions account for a single, standard setup case; using these directions in other situations may necessitate additional steps to restore data from your existing Outlook setup. We strongly recommend using either a desktop client or the web client in place of OCFO.
It is critical that all OCFO users apply Microsoft's time zone
definition update immediately. For XP users, this update is
available through Windows Update/Microsoft Update as MS928388--Microsoft has updated the update to MS931836. You can also obtain the update
directly from Microsoft here.
Users of other Windows versions should see Microsoft knowledgebase
