Managing E-mail

Does your e-mail Inbox overwhelm you? If so, Microsoft has some tips for helping you manage your Inbox. While these are great tips, and they do really work, they also require tools that are not available currently to all District 21 staff members at this point through the CommuniGate webmail interface we use.

We have begun migrating individuals to our new e-mail/calendar/contacts server, which is called Exchange. Exchange is fully functional with Microsoft's Outlook e-mail/calendar/contacts/tasks software as well as "mostly" functional, and fully compatible, with Microsoft's Entourage 2008 for Mac, part of Microsoft's Office for Mac suite. As we move to Exchange, District 21 staff members will also be able to utilize "Thin Client," which provides access to another computer through your computer. The picture below was taken on a Mac in District 21, and it shows a full screen view of Outlook in Windows. With software such as this, everyone can use the type of tools described in the article above!
