Compatibility Issues

All Assessor Series applications utilize an e-mail component that is specifically designed for MAPI e-mail, including MAPI clients like Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail.  Customers who use Lotus Notes for their e-mail will most likely experience problems when trying to e-mail from an ERI application.

 

If for some reason your e-mail software is not MAPI compatible, then you will not be able to use ERI's e-mail feature.

 

As an alternative to the File | Send an E-mail feature, customers are encouraged to use the Copy-to-Clipboard feature, and/or manually create a screen snapshot, then attach those files to an e-mail created using their default e-mail software.

 

Address Book

All Assessor Series applications use the Address Book from the your e-mail client (e.g., Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail).
