Turn Off Preview Pannel

[SidebandSamurai]

Hello everyone,

I currently have a freshly installed Scalix e-mail server and have deployed to two test users.

How does a person using SWA turn off the preview pannel. All of my users have been trained not to have the preview pannel active to prevent the trigger of viruses. Now they have gotten so use to it they prefer it.

Also, I have discovered a problem with SWA when adjusting the preview panel. if you try to widen the messag list by trying to drage the horizontal bar that seperates the message list from the preview panel, and you go past the grey shadded part, the bar will accutally end up at the top of the right hand pannel hiding the message list. This occurs when using Firefox.

Most of my users either use Netscape 7.2 or Firefox 1.5

I have tested this with IE and don't have a problem, but it is a problem with Firefox 1.5.

I have also tested the SWA client from Verizon Wireless's EVDO network, and seems to be pretty responsive. I guess we will see as the number of users increase, but I am not expecting any change.

Sincerely,

Sideband Samurai

If you select the View menu within SWA, one of the options is Preview Pane. Make sure it is not checked and the Preview Pane will not be displayed.

Cheers

as an Administrator, you can also set an option in /etc/opt/scalix/partner.xml, so that the preview pane is turned off for new users by default.

the option is
messagePaneVisible="true"

and it can be turned to "false".

You'll need to restart tomcat after you make this change.
