PoliteMail for the desktop allows you to create powerful measured emails for your internal communications, without ever leaving the Outlook application. Use the PoliteMail Builder to create Templates, manage your Content, manage users, view Measurement reports and more. At the same time, you can use the many tools and add-ins that Outlook has to offer.
PoliteMail for Outlook is a COM add-in, gets installed locally (setup.exe) or via packaging, and this type of add-in is NOT SUPPORTED by M365 or New Outlook.
PoliteMail Online (PMO) offers the same great features as the Desktop edition in an online interface – no downloads required. PoliteMail Online is not a part of Microsoft Outlook, and so the interface is not constrained by Outlook's architecture. This allows PMO to have a modern, more intuitive interface that has the latest features.
Enter the "New" Outlook
Because classic, desktop Outlook is outdated and scheduled for eventual deprecation, Microsoft is actively pushing users to the "New" Outlook, also known as Outlook 365. As a result, PoliteMail has developed the PoliteMail Unified App (PMUA).
The PoliteMail Unified App (PMUA) is a simple, Modern Add-in installation that allows for the PoliteMail Online interface to display in ALL editions of PoliteMail, whether Desktop or M365, resulting in a consistent experience regardless of platform or OS.
