Setting up Project “Madeira” Preview (also when you’re not from the US)

[Blog bot]

)

When finished, Madeira is already there for you, and you are able to log into your tenant with the newly created O365 account. In fact – it will log in automagically, and show you this:



You are free to enjoy the wonderful click through experience (I wonder how this has been created – interesting :-)), but I clicked “Not Now”, and continued with the next step.

Third: Configure Email Integration

Let’s go straight into the configuration of the mail-addin in Office 365. Just go to Actions, and click the “Assisted Setup” button:



You’ll get this:



In the list, click “Set Up Office Add-Ins” (I won’t go into the other settings – it’s quite obvious, isn’t it?).

During the wizard, make sure you Set it up for “My Organization”:



And use your Office365 account – which is an admin, so should be fine!

Also, send the sample email messages .. which make a lot of sense to try out the Outlook Integration :-).

When it shows “Completed” test it out by navigating to your mail (you can do this from your Madeira):



You’ll see a mail from (for example) “Andy Teal”, and when you browse to it, you’ll see the Madeira plugin:



Start enjoying it! It’s amazing!

Fourth: Download App from client

Now, downloading the “Universal” client – the app – the thing that works on all devices (how do you kids call it these days .. ). You can initiate the download from Madeira (notice that your menu contains a Madeira “app”):



In Madeira, just start the “Replay Getting Started”



In the wizard, we’re interested in the “One Last Thing” part – so press “next” until you reach this:



And click “Show me how”

You’ll see you get this link: http://aka.ms/GetMadeira (you can use this link on any device!) and a QR Code to get you to the app.

Also here, there is country-check. I’m not able to test on all devices .. but to get it to work on windows if you’re not from the US, is simply change your country-settings to “United States”



Just install the app now, and switch it back to the original value. Once installed, you own the app, and you’re good to go and use it :-).

Open the app, provide your activation code, sign in .. and enjoy!

I have an iPhone as well – but must admit, I didn’t get it to work (yet) because of the country-checks. I guess I need to change the settings of my AppleID (as it always tries to download the client from the Belgian Store – and isn’t available there) – though, when I tried that, I was not able to change the country (apparently, according to Apple, I can’t move to another country ;-)). I’ll try some more in the next few days..

That’s it .. If there is anything more to add – please leave a comment!
