In Configuration, you therefore select which mailbox OAS uses and which locations are used by the different features. This ensures that features such as Inbox Cleanup and Archiving know which mailbox and folders to work with.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou only need to enter this information once. The different OAS features then use these centrally stored settings. If your mailbox changes later or you want to use a different location, simply adjust it in Configuration.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis means you do not have to <strong>manage Outlook settings<\/strong> separately for each feature, keeping your configuration clear and easy to maintain.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use OAS in the language of your choice<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOAS is available in <strong>seven languages<\/strong>. In Configuration, you can choose which language you want to use. OAS then uses your selection for screens, buttons, notifications and other text throughout the application.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe language used by OAS is independent of the language setting in Outlook. If you also want to change the language of Outlook itself, Microsoft explains how to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/nl-nl\/outlook\/getstarted\/manage-language-settings-in-outlook?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">manage language settings in Outlook<\/a><\/strong>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is useful not only when you use Outlook in another language, but also when OAS is used within an organisation by people with different language preferences.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Outlook environment as the starting point<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNot every Outlook installation is the same. That is why you decide which mailbox and storage locations OAS uses and configure the different features to suit your situation.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou can also adjust other preferences in Configuration. If you want to change something later, simply modify the relevant setting. The different OAS features will then automatically use the new settings.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis allows you to <strong>manage Outlook settings<\/strong> for OAS without having to configure each individual feature again.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjust settings when the way you work changes<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou do not have to make your OAS configuration permanent during the initial installation. If the way you work changes, you start using another mailbox, or you want to configure a feature differently, you can easily change these settings later.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBecause the settings are managed centrally, you do not have to make the same changes in several places. The different OAS features use the settings you have defined in Configuration. This allows you to <strong>manage Outlook settings<\/strong> whenever necessary while keeping OAS aligned with the way you work in Outlook.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYour saved preferences also remain available after restarting Outlook, so you do not have to configure OAS again each time.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to configure OAS for your Outlook?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nConfigure OAS once to suit the way you work, then let it handle the recurring work for you.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/outlookassistant.nl\/en\/download-oas\/\">Download OAS<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/outlookassistant.nl\/en\/oas-features\/\">Explore all features<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Configure OAS to suit the way you work Managing Outlook settings for OAS is done from one central location.
