After installing Outlook Connector for Jira, a new backstage menu called "Jira" will be added.
The backstage menu "Jira" contains three items:
Connection Settings: Manage your profiles and Jira server settings

Furthermore, your Outlook shows two new buttons in the "Home" and "Read Mail" tab.
This menu provides the following items:
"Jira Tasks" items:
Create Jira Issue | Use currently selected email to create a Jira issue | |||
Add as Comment | Add the currently selected email content as comment to an existing Jira issue | |||
Forward to JEMH |
Forward an email to the Enterprise Mail Handler for Jira (JEMH) app. JEMH is an enterprise message handler for your Jira, providing a scalable email handling and routing, auditing, incoming mail 'fixing' on the fly, customized notification templates by project, support for email only users, integrated test case facilities, auditing, configuration export/import and more.

The functions "Create Jira Issue" and "Add as Jira Comment" are also available in an email's context menu. Right-click an email and the functions are shown at the end of the menu. If you have multiple profiles a split menu will be shown which includes all profiles. If only one profile is configured only a single button instead of a split menu is shown.
"Forward to JEMH" is available in an email's context menu if the JEMH integration has been enabled in the "Settings" of a server. If you have multiple JEMH enabled servers a split menu will be shown to select the intended server.
