Set up server-side synchronization of email, appointments, contacts, and tasks
Note
The new and improved Power Platform admin center is now in public preview! We designed the new admin center to be easier to use, with task-oriented navigation that helps you achieve specific outcomes faster. We'll be publishing new and updated documentation as the new Power Platform admin center moves to general availability.
You can use server-side synchronization to synchronize your email system with Microsoft Dataverse apps at the server level. Dataverse apps could be first-party model-driven apps, like Dynamics 365 (online) apps or custom apps. For example, you can synchronize Dataverse model-driven apps with Microsoft Exchange Online (hosted email server) or Microsoft Exchange Server (on-premises). If you synchronize with Exchange Online or Exchange Server, in addition to Outlook email, you can synchronize Outlook appointments, contacts, and tasks.
You can also use server-side synchronization to synchronize Dataverse apps with a POP3 email server for web-hosted email like Gmail or Outlook.com. If you synchronize email with a POP3 email server, you can’t synchronize appointments, contacts, and tasks, however.
Note
Using encryption software (such as Vaultive) together with server-side synchronization is not supported.
If you use server-side sync, you won't be able to view S/MIME encrypted messages. Encrypting emails with S/MIME requires an application to use an S/MIME control which server-side sync does not support. For more information on S/MIME encryption, see Encrypt messages by using S/MIME in Outlook Web App.
