What to do when SuperOffice archiving button has disappeared from Outlook?

There are 4 common causes of this situation:

• You have recently updated Windows or Microsoft Office on your computer.
   
• Outlook believes that SuperOffice Ribbon is running too slow, affecting the overall Outlook performance.

​

SuperOffice Ribbon cannot be found in the list

If you are sure that SuperOffice Mail Link is installed on your computer, but the SuperOffice Ribbon does not appear in the Outlook Add-in list at all, try to reinstall Mail Link, check this FAQ how to do it.

If after reinstalling Mail Link SuperOffice Ribbon is still invisible then check if the SuperOffice registry key has been created in your Windows profile. To do so in regedit.exe navigate to HKEY\Current User\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins where you could see a key called SuperOfficeRibbon-Outlook.



If it is not created automatically, most of the time that is due to missing rights on the Windows profile. In this situation, we suggest either give the user local administrator rights on the computer and try to install Mail link with the .msi file or import/copy missing registry keys from the computer where SuperOffice Ribbon is visible, check this FAQ how to do it.

Note! Incorrectly editing a registry can permanently damage your computer or server (if you work on Citrix/Terminal Server), so do not delete or adjust any key if you don't know specifically why you do it. We recommend to back up the Windows registry before making any change. You can find instructions on how to do it in this article.
