[Year 12 IT Apps] apology

[Stephen Digby]

Touchy !
Usually, when someone gets upset at a query, it is not because of the insult but rather that they may wish to
curtail any future questioning....
Your TSSP works for YOU.
You were not insulting him/her.  You were getting a "second opinion".
Perhaps that was perceived as an insult. 

In answer....
Outlook is the preferred email client for all DEET users as it allows MUCH faster email reception, eaiser user
management of email, much easier access and maintenance of contact lists; offline access to received emails
(depending on your settings).

I setup all staff emails as plain pop3 connections so that all email content is retained on the local machine
for offline reading and composition.
Setting the option so that email is left on the EduMail server until deleted from the local machine allows
emails to be accessible via browser as well.

Using the Exchange settings IS confusing as users often see duplicate folder sets for the remote copies as
well as for the local copies.

Suggest that staff who have access to personal computers (e.g. notebooks) should always use a local mail
client (even if it is simply Outlook express or an integrated browser client).

Only people who should stick to web based access are those with no personal computer and thus would not
benefit from its ability to deliver a faster more efficient connection.
