Configuration for IMAP-Konto
 1. Go to `Menu > Mail > Preferences > Accounts`

 * Choose account type (IMAP)
 * Enter the needed data ([[http://www.math.uzh.ch/li/?system|Reference Card]])
 * Save and exit

Now all the folders from your mail account should appear.
 To change the behaviour of the defaul folders of Apple Mail, do the following:
 1. Select the folder you want to edit (f.e. `Sent`)
 * Go to `Menu > Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For`
 * Choose the desired function

=== Different 'Sent' folder: merge them! ===
 * Especially under MacOS X and iOS, it happens that the individual devices and mail applications uses different 'Sent'-folder names like 'Sent', 'sent-folder', 'sent-messages', 'sent_messages', ...
 * Best is to configure all devices/mail-applicatons to use 'Sent' as the sent folder. The majority of all email applications use this name as the sent folder.
 * If there are already differebt folder:
  * Configure all your email applications to use 'Sent' as the sent folder.
  * Move (best via https://mail.math.uzh.ch) all mails from the different 'sent...' folders to 'sent'.
  * Delete all empty 'sent...' folders. This last step is important for future configuration of email applications/devices: during the setup of an email applicaton/account, the app looks for existing 'sent' named folders. If there is only one, it will choose the right one as 'Sent' folder.

The standard institutes calendar (=Zimbra) generates reminders, in the current Zimbra version, only via pop up Windows, if you logged into the webmail interface. Often you need a more independet way to receive a reminder.
 
Until Zimbra is more flexible, please use the following workaround to generate personal reminder emails to a specific date and time:
 1. Create a date
 * Insert {{{!Remind}}} somewhere in the title or the body
 * Save and close the date
You will receive an email if the date happens.
 
 Optional Arguments::
 :: Time before {{{!Remind:xxdyyhzzm}}} (f.e. 1d12h35m)

 1. research seminars
 * colloquia
 * conferences
 * Dissertationsvorträge
 * general events.

The mailing lists are divided into two parts:
 * automatically assigned e-mail addresses
 * personal e-mail subscription

 Persons who are automatically assigned to a mailing list (only members of our institute)::
 :: research seminars: all organizers, all assistants of the organizers
 :: colloquia: whole institute
 :: conferences: whole institute
 :: Dissertationsvorträge: whole institute
 :: general events: whole institute

Every institute member is free to enable/disable these 5 categories seperately. Every e-mail contains a personalized URL to subscribe / unsubscribe.

== Personal e-mail subscription: ==

On every page of the given events, there is a link 'e-mail reminder subscription' which points to an e-mail address form (if the service is not disabled for the given event). After subscribing, an e-mail will be returned to the subscriber's e-mail. The e-mail provides a personalized link, which the subscriber must open in a webbrowser to activate the subscription.

Subscription period:

The e-mail subscription to a research seminar or a colloquium is semester independent. The e-mail subscription is active as long as the seminar exists.
All other events occur only one time.

Sending reminder e-mails:

The Organizers of any event are free to choose between 0-7 days or to disable the reminder feature completely. This could be specified for all events of the current semester or on a per event basis. The default setting is 0 days, which means that the e-mails are sent very early in the morning on the day of the event.

The content of the reminder email is either generic or specific on a per event basis.
