- make sure the Jira admin installed the Outlook2Jira plugin in Jira
- make sure the Remote-API of Jira has been enabled

- the configure dialog will ask for a Jira URL
  -- valid URL i. e. are: https://jira.company.com,  http://company.com:8080/jira 
  -- do _not_ use the SOAP-API URL here
  -- be aware of company proxies, firewalls, and so on
  -- using an IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is in some cases better than URLs like http://jira.intranet:8080
