Setting Options (Preferences)

You can set a number of options -- or preferences -- in Horde groupware to customize how Horde groupware applications look or act. There are both global options, set in the Horde groupware options menu, which apply to all Horde groupware applications, as well as application specific options which apply only to an individual application.

To modify your preferences for a specific application, click on the Options icon in the top menu bar. An Options menu for that application will be displayed. For global options, use the Options icon on the Horde groupware portal page, or the Options menu entry in the Horde application navigation menu.

Once in an options page, click on an option heading to change the options for that section. For example, the follow shows what the options page for the email application looks like.

When you first start, you may want to set Personal Information (such as your real name, reply address, signature, and sent-mail folder), Address Books (for expanding names and searching), and Display Options (such as sort order and criteria, messages per page, display theme, etc). Those are the most common options for new users. As you use it more, you will want to revisit the Options menus and customize your setup further.
