Email Manager for Outlook supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Outlook.

If your organization implements a policy to prevent users from creating or modifying PSTs (PSTDisableGrow or DisablePST), Email Manager for Outlook will work with limited functionality. For the 32-bit version of Outlook, the Microsoft-approved solution is to allow trusted applications to override the policy. Microsoft does not allow this policy to be overridden in the 64-bit version of Outlook. This information is summarized in the table below.

                 Policy: Version No Policy Policy
32-bit Outlook Full functionality Can be overridden so that full functionality is available.
64-bit Outlook Full functionality Cannot be overridden; reduced functionality as described below.

Note: The Operating System (OS) can be 32-bit or 64-bit.

Overriding the IT Policy that prevents PSTs from being created or modified

For the 32-bit version of Outlook, the Microsoft-approved solution is to override the policy by creating the registry key shown below:

Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\<version>\Outlook\PST\
Value Type: DWORD
Value Name: PSTDisableGrowAllowAuthenticodeOverrides
Value Data: 1

For more information, please refer to this KB article.

NoteFor the 64-bit version of Office, there is a Microsoft restriction that prevents this policy from being overridden.
