Email Business Organizer overview

Show expandable text

Email Business Organizer is the electronic version of Business Organizer that enables you to send business organizers to your clients through any Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) compliant email application. Your clients print their Business Organizer, complete the organizer questionnaire, include notes and questions for you, and then email, mail, and/or fax the organizer back to you.

Once a client returns their organizer to you, you can enter the client's data directly into the input screens. The procedures for generating Web Business Organizers have separate steps.

System requirements for using Email Business Organizer

There are some additional system requirements for using Email Business Organizer.

System requirements for the preparer

The following are the system requirements for preparers using Email Business Organizer.
  • The latest system requirements are listed on the System Requirements page on our website.
  • An email application that supports 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 to file 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.

Operating systems no longer supported by Microsoft include Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.
