LexWorkplace for Outlook
Recommended Version
We recommend the newest Outlook add-in, “LexWorkplace for Outlook” for most firms and users.
This version of the Outlook add-in has the most email management features, including most notably: Smart-File, where LexWorkplace learns what email addresses associate with which Matter, and Email Multi-Select, which provides the ability to select multiple emails and file (or Smart-File) all at once.
LexWorkplace for Outlook only works with Microsoft 365, and does not work other implementations of Outlook/Exchange such as on-premise or hosted Exchange. Firms should only use an older version if they require support for legacy Exchange/email services.
Uptime Legal recommends that all firms use Microsoft 365 as their productivity suite.
Legacy-Exchange Outlook Add-in
This version of the Outlook add-in was an interim release, published to give firms with legacy Exchange/email services (specifically: Microsoft’s EWS platform) the ability to use LexWorkplace email management. This version should only be used for this purpose, and using it means foregoing key features, namely Smart-File and Email-Multi-Select (as described above)
Original Outlook Addin
This is the first version of the Outlook add-in for LexWorkplace. It had basic save-email-to-matter capabilities, as well as the ability to “attach from” LexWorkplace. This version is no longer available and listed here for historical documentation purposes.
