Q & A

• how to add Skype phone to contacts

Mail

  • hold <SHIFT> and drag and drop message to desired folder

Calendar

• how to show weeknumbers
  • go to Preferences>Calendar>General and check Show Calendar Week

Issues

• Geanina receives mail from SH only in Zimbra, not in Thunderbird
• Attila Kertesz@hotmail.com receives mail with delay of several days
• customer replies to mails sent from Zimbra are rejected (Ionut, Retec)

Considerations

• financial
  • this year we intend to buy Excel for all workstations: it might be attractive to buy an Office suit with Outlook
  • we might want to change our ERP into Access format: makes an Office suit even more attractive (alternative is an open source database)
