Sync Evernote with Outlook locally

[CaitK 0]

At work there are significant IT restrictions on adding the Evernote Add-in to Outlook 360 on the online store. I have a desktop version of Outlook 2016 and Evernote 10.10.5. It would be great to have an Evernote Add-in for this version of outlook to help sync and manage tasks locally on the desktop. I see that this used to be a version with Outlook 2010 and 2013 and the older version of Evernote. Please please please bring this feature back for these versions. I love the look and feel of evernote, but stopped using it as this feature is not available.

Hi.  If work locks down your network access,  Evernote can't provide a way around it...

Thanks for the reply. Hope I can clarify your response. According to this article (https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005837-How-to-use-the-Microsoft-Outlook-Clipper-add-in-to-save-emails-to-Evernote) an older version of Evernote offered the option to use Outlook clipper add-in when you downloaded the app onto your desktop, allowing you to save emails to Evernote. This was only supported for the older version of Evernote and Outlook 2010 and 2013. 

I was able to install the newer version of Evernote, the issue is that I can only access the add-in through the online store and this is where I get blocked. In addition, I use the desktop version of Outlook 2016 not the 360 version. Why can't Evernote offer the Outlook clipper add-in again? Would I still be blocked from this type of add-in?

Hi.  I think it's only Basic users who would have a special need for this,  and since that's a free app I don't think it's worth it to Evernote to fund the development of the extension.  There's no more Evernote Email Clipper (AFAIK) for anyone.  It will hurt subscribers less,  because they can forward emails to their account directly - no clipper required. 

For the moment if you can install a desktop version,  try the Legacy app - that should still add-in clipper for the desktop Outlook (close Outlook before you install) but whether the clips will then get through your company firewall and out to Evernote online I do not know.  I use it with Outlook 2013 - whether it works on 2016 again - I don't know.  😒

Be aware that the locally stored database content in your account will be visible to your IT department (whether they admit it or not...) so avoid personal comments or information!
