Replace Exchange ActiveSync in Outlook 2016

EnGuard previously provided Exchange ActiveSync for Outlook 2016 to synchronize email, calendar, contacts, and tasks to our Webmail and your Mobile Device for Plan Three customers.

Microsoft has officially removed Exchange ActiveSync support in all versions of Outlook: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2859522/outlook-does-not-support-connections-to-exchange-by-using-activesync

If you are currently connected via Exchange ActiveSync with Outlook 2016, it has stopped working. We have replaced Exchange ActiveSync with our new Outlook Sync feature.
