Additional Email Client Organizer system requirements and setup tasks

System requirements for the preparer

The following are the system requirements for preparers using Email Client Organizer.
  • The latest UltraTax CS system requirements are listed on our website.
  • An email application that supports Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) protocol, such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Messaging, or Microsoft Exchange, is recommended. If your email does not support MAPI, you can still create PDF organizers and manually attach them to an email message.

America Online (AOL) and web-based email accounts such as Hotmail and Yahoo do not support a MAPI client interface. If you are unsure if your service supports MAPI protocol, contact your service provider.

System requirements for the client

The following are the system requirements for clients using Email Client Organizer.
  • A Windows 8 or Windows 10 operating system. The email client organizer is not supported on operating systems that are no longer supported by the manufacturer. Operating systems no longer supported by Microsoft include Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.
  • Adobe Reader version DC or higher. If your clients do not already have it installed on their computers, they can download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/.
  • An email service capable of receiving file attachments.

Certain email services limit the size of file attachments. These are limitations of the email application and not limitations of the Email Client Organizer.
