apologies, this was an issue with the v1 release with all the code
swapping that happened moving to the ocx. It was fixed in an update but
hasn't made it to a real installer yet - i must get round to that. If
you grap an exe from here

http://www.mi4.biz/files/testing/xapswitchboard20060709.zip

and replace your existing exe. Run switchboard, then outlook and in
Switchboard go to the config screen and you should see a reload from X
Outlook, click it and they will restart the sync.
