I just wanted to give you all some update on how we are getting on with the development of CiviSync. The application interface is ready. There will be three buttons on Outlook Toolbar to Sync Contacts, Sync Email and Settings. I hope they are self explanatory. We have also worked on a number of setting options to make it as extensive as possible and at the same time user friendly as well.
