  1. Re:They don't understand what they want. on Linux Desktop Email Key to Success · · Score: 1
    Kontact (for KDE) can already do all this.
    #1. Shared email folders. I should be able to share a folder with anyone else in the company. (Totally amazing would be the ability to do so, securely, with anyone on the Internet).
    #4. Delegation. I should be able to assign various rights to my email to other people so they can check the business crap when I'm on vacation.
    Assuming you're using IMAP, choose the properties for a folder, select the Access Control tab, and modify permissions as you want.
    #2. Shared calendars. Same as #1.
    Specify a calendar (or groupware) server, and it will publish and retrieve calendars to the server.
    #3. Send appointments/meeting requests to people via #2.
    The default action is send these requests.
    #5. Alias/Roles. I should be able to send items as "webmaster" and "postmaster" and myself.
    Setup one or more identities. You can assign identities per mail folder and/or switch per mail.

    You should give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

  2. WLAN Support on Worst Linux Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    My biggest annoyance is trying to get my Linksys WPC11 wireless card to work. I've RTFM, read the HOWTOs, downloaded and compiled the various packages that I'm supposed to need, and tweaked the config files like instructed. Everything compiles fine, everything installs fine, the drivers load fine, Linux recognises that wlan0 exists, but I just can't aquire an IP address.

    I'll probably spend this weekend starting over and trying again. Who knows... maybe it will work this time.
