Conflicts

Conflicts

Conflicts are situations where a message, event or another item is changed separately both on the server and in Outlook Connector in the interval between synchronizations (synchronization is started in defined periods). In such cases, the server is not capable of recognizing which change is the wanted (later) one.

If a conflict occurs during the synchronization, the item saved on the server beats the other one. The winning item is saved in the corresponding folder. The beaten item is saved in a special folder called Conflicts. This folder is available only in MS Outlook. This implies that it is not available in Kerio WebMail or another email client.

Both items can be easily compared to select the correct one. If the server have primarily selected the wrong version (the older one), it is possible to move it from the Conflicts folder to the correct directory manually and simply remove the other version.

Each conflict is announced by a special message sent to MS Outlook. Its subject is Message in conflict!. Conflict information includes name of the message, event, contact or another item in conflict and its location in mailbox (folder). Local version of the item is moved to the Conflicts folder. If this version is up-to-date, exchange it with the version in the particular folder.
