Microsoft Office Outlook Connector

I've been running that for a while now - seems to have suddenly stopped working though in the last week or two!

The only thing it doesn't do is look at your Outlook settings and automatically empty it's own deleted folder when you close Outlook.

I must reinstall the connector again.
