The Outlook Linker allows you to add new and existing Outlook items to your map that remain linked to and synchronized with their Outlook counterparts. The items are included in your map as Smart Map Parts. You can link to Outlook items in 3 ways:
Send an existing item from Outlook to MindManager.
Send a topic from MindManager to Outlook to create a new task or appointment.
Add a new Outlook Linker Map Part to a MindManager map. This automatically creates a corresponding new Outlook appointment, task, contact or note.
You can then edit these Outlook items from within MindManager or directly in Outlook.
You must have Outlook 2000 or later installed on your system to use these features.
Another way to work with Outlook is to use the Import, Export and Synchronize tool. These features are provided primarily to give backwards compatibility with maps from earlier versions that used this option, and as a way to convert existing MindManager topics with task information into Outlook tasks. A better method is to use the Outlook Linker to include Outlook items in the map. These display all the item information in MindManager, and are automatically kept in sync.
In addition, you can create reminders on topics using MindManager's Topic Alert feature and automatically create a corresponding Outlook appointment. Topic Alerts are kept in sync and can be edited from either application.
