Index of Subjects Hi Richard: I am now able to see a reply function. I don't believe that was available initially, or at least it was certainly not obvious to me. And of course, not having the reply e-mail “saved†in an appropriate file, an ongoing problem, is more than a nuisance it is unacceptable. It seems to me some of the essential menu functions from the get go were not available and the function menu still appears to be in a state of transition. I am still having problems deleting unwanted e-mails without having to open them. I suggest this is a risk to the security of individual members and Chebucto generally. You should not have to open an unwanted e-mail to delete it to avoid spam or worse a virus. Yes, there is a delete function (on the bottom menu now) but putting a check in the box to the left of the suspect or unwanted e-mail and prompting delete does not highlight or obviously indicate it has been deleted. Nor does clicking on the action prompt (again, I suggest, a relatively new additional feature) indicate anything has been achieved. Indeed, often the e-mail in question is not deleted. I have followed this procedure with the “purge deleted “function as well. Sometimes, inexplicably, it takes repeating this procedure several times before the unwanted e-mail is removed. The new Horde server seems to be an experiment and the Chebucto membership Guinea pigs along for the ride. It is obvious to all of us members NOW that there were fatal problems with the original server. Presumably it was known within the Chebucto tech community that it was going to need to be replaced before the emergency that required that it be removed and replaced immediately without any advance notice to us client members. Clearly, we should have been given advance warning and advised to copy or back up important files. I, and presumably everyone else, lost the entirety of my address book and all of my sent files. Fortunately, I had taken the precaution and did “save†some crucial files and addresses but many more were lost. I have been advised that someone is now trying to retrieve the original address books. Has there been any progress on that issue? I have been a member of Chebucto almost since the beginning, 20 years or so now, and I support the premise of the Community Net. I understood and tolerated the growing pains at the beginning and I have, I think, been a patient client. I am still hanging on here but we, Chebucto, should be more than just an experiment at this stage and we, as members, should be treated better than Guinea pigs.
