9/8     So, I asked this a few years ago, it seems there should have been
        some progress on this front:   A calendar server for linux?
        Would be nice if it could work with outlook clients but not
        mandatory, would be nice if people could update their Cals from
        the web, would be nice if it was free.  I'm looking at calcium
        which seems like http://www.brownbearsw.com has just taken their
        popular but kind of klunky (and not free) ical and ported it to
        perl. [spelld]
        \_ There exist a number of commercial products for Linux including
           probably the ones from IBM, Oracle, and Sun/iPlanet but I don't
           think they work with Lookout.
        \_ Isn't there something from Ximian that apes all the nifty Exchange
           stuff?  Look around, there's quite a few things along these
           lines.  I believe Outlook is also fairly flexible in how it
           synchronizes with various apps.  For a nice web-based groupware,
           look at phprojekt.  I have some others lying around, mail me
           if you want me to dig them out.  -John

4/8     What's a good free e-mail provider? I don't want to use Gmail,
        Yahoo, Outlook, or any of those sites with features I never use that
        track my personal info and keep changing their interface. I want just
        simple e-mail without privacy issues or all the baggage these large,
        for-profit companies are adding. I might even be willing to pay.
        Recommendations?

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

10/21   Outlook question: Is there a way to configure Outlook such that when I
        reply to a message, the "Sent:" time in the original mail will contain
        timezone information?  I'm working on a project with a team in China,
        and it's often confusing which timezones the "Sent:" times refer to in
        an e-mail chain.  Thanks.

9/21    So I did it and got myself a Macbook Pro. Any suggestions for the best
        PC->Mac transition?  After finding out that Outlook is not supported
        under Mac; I bought parallels and am installing XP to grab my outlook
        mail archive (~1GB) from the original PC disk (the pc itself is
        basically dead). Any suggestions on a relatively painless import to
        entourage? The Mac Genius guy also reccomended an upgrade to 4GB and

9/22    Gmail's "conversation feature" drives me nuts! Is there a way to
        disable that and make Gmail act like every other e-mail client on the
        planet? WTF thought this was a nice thing to have on by default?
        \_ Umm, why don't you just use another email service then...
           \_ Umm, I do, which is how I have something to compare to. I get
              mail in at least 4 places only one of which is Gmail. I

3/18    I would like to ask for help exporting my mail from outlook. I tried
        using File->Import and Export->Export to a file but that either
        did not work (PST usage is disabled on this computer) or didn't bring
        along attachments. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.
        \_ Check google.  There's a bunch of free and cheap tools out there.
           There's one in particular I can't recall right now but I'll post

Ran across it while looking for some CGI gadgets for our intranet site. They were about to spend several thousand deutschmarks for Exchange server. As the IT Manager for a medical communications company, I needed an easy to use application that would handle the fairly straightforward chore of keeping our staff and meeting schedules updated and available to anyone with a web browser." We are continually amazed at the stability and flexibility of Calcium. There's lot's of other calendars out there but no one can touch you on service and support. " "We are a large research institution (500+ employees, $40m+ budget) and have been using iCal for several months as an integral part of our internal web site. We are using it to provide a master calendar of events occurring on the campus as well as to provide scheduling for several multi-use conference rooms." "I just wanted to let you know how happy we are with iCal. Brown Bear Software - web applications that keep people connected. Our flagship products are web calendar servers - for scheduling events, meetings, appointments, equipment, or just about anything else. What makes our software different from other web calendars? We provide two complete solutions - iCal has a built-in web server, so no existing server is required. And Calcium is a CGI program that can run under virtually any existing web server, on any platform. We also offer TripleSync, which synchronizes your Palm OS handheld or Microsoft Outlook with your web calendar.
