Outlook Toolbar Installation Instructions

First things first...

In order to install the email2 Toolbar for Outlook 2003 & 2007, you must already have been invited to join an email2 Private Email Network (PEN). Once you are registered, login the email2 Web Client for the specific Private Email Network that you're using.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you restart your computer before proceeding with the installation of the email2 Toolbar for Outlook.

In the email2 Web Client, click the button in the left hand column, Enable with Microsoft Outlook

(The image above is an example, please click the button in your own web client)

Installing the email2 Toolbar

After clicking Enable with Microsoft Outlook, you will be presented with a page of simple instructions. Click 'Install the email2 Toolbar for Outlook 2003 & 2007'. You will be prompted to 'Save' or 'Run' the setup file. Click 'Run' to begin the installation process.

You may be prompted with a security warning claiming that the publisher could not be verified, which then asks you if you'd still like to run the software. Select 'Run'.

Note: If you do not have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed, you will be prompted to install it. The installation is automatic and must be completed in order to use email2. The .NET Framework 2.0 is a Microsoft designed component and does not put your computer at any risk.

At this point, the installer will confirm your choice. Click 'Install' once you are prompted.

The email2 Toolbar installation will begin. Follow any on-screen prompts that may occur. You will be required to close Outlook during installation.
