The Microsoft Office 365 Outlook add-in is developed for Spambrella and Proofpoint Essentials services and will work across all service stacks. Proofpoint Essentials is delivered on US1 through to US5 and a single stack instance resides in Europe on EU1. The Spambrella M365 Outlook add-in will integrate seamlessly via a Spambrella stack through any Proofpoint Essentials customer account.
The add-in will not function unless the MSP/customer account is under Spambrella as the Proofpoint Distributor. Migrating your account to Spambrella to access the free add-in is a simple managed process – Please follow this guide. Please contact sales@spambrella.com for further reassurance.
Once you have added the add-in to Outlook, it will automatically populate the ribbon section of the Outlook application and Outlook Web Access. Additional functionality is available when creating a new message to encrypt the message when sending (The customer must be subscribed to the Advanced or Advanced + service plans). The functionality of the add-in is to provide the below end-user ease of use and will be shaped around customer/partner requirements moving forward. We rely on our customers and partners to suggest functionality to improve the tool.
