Upgrading Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook from 6.5.x to 7.0
Users can upgrade from Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook 6.5.x to release 7.0. However, when upgrading from 6.5.3 or earlier, the upgrade will continue to use a single data directory, in which multiple users have profiles that share one directory. To take advantage of the multi-user installation capabilities, in which each user can have his or her own data directory, users must first uninstall DAMO 6.5.x, and then install DAMO 7.0. Before doing this, users should back up the existing *.NSF, *.PST and *.OST. files as a precaution. The initialization process of the new installation will recreate the mail files locally.

During the upgrade users will be asked if they want to create a profile at the end of the upgrade process. If they choose not to, they can create new profiles at anytime in the future by choosing "Create New MAPI Profile" from the Start - Programs - IBM Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook shortcut.

Users cannot create a DAMO profile using the Outlook Setup Wizard. They must use the "Create New MAPI Profile" on the start menu.
