Calendar Settings

The Calendar settings enables you to share your calendar and set some defaults like start and end of the day, the view style and the default category.

Address Book Settings

You can select how many contacts you wish to view at one time in the Address application. Fewer contacts will let the page load faster; more contacts will show you more information at one time.

Email Settings

  • Personal Information

    Allows you to include your name and your signature in outgoing messages.

  • Copies and Folders

    Allows you to manage your sent copies, drafts and deleted messages.

  • Composition

    Allows you to control how to reply to an email message.

  • Display

    Allows you to control such things as the number of characters at which to wrap incoming message text, show messages in HTML, and sort by receive date.

  • Spam Filtering

    Select the level of Spam filtering that you feel is necessary.

  • Other Servers

    Add another mail server to check for new messages. New mail that arrives in that account will also be delivered to your Axentra Mail inbox.

Weblog Settings

The Weblog settings allow you to personalize your weblog, the way it looks and how you work with it.

  • Description

    Enter a descriptive title for your weblog.

  • Default Sharing

    Each weblog entry can be made public, private, or shared only with members of one of your contact lists. Choose which you would like the default to be.

  • Categories

    Each weblog entry can be given one or more categories, to help you or your readers find posts of particular interest. You can create new categories here, or rename existing categories. Note that changing the name of a category also changes its name on posts you've already made under that category.

  • Formatting

    Choose the amount of automatic formatting you want applied to your weblog entries by default.

  • Stylesheet

    If you are knowledgeable in CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), you can create your own stylesheet to customize the way your weblog appears, both on your portal and to visitors reading or writing comments in your weblog.

  • Email Options

    Choose whether you want to be notified by email when someone comments in your weblog, and/or when someone replies to a comment made in your weblog. These settings can be changed on individual weblog entries.
