Configuration Tips
1.) Calendar Events
Calendar Events are also configurable by the system Administrator direct in the Console.
The Events-tab mirrors the web-page entries.
2.) AM/PM - 24 hr
Calendar entries default to using the 24-hour clock. You can switch to am/pm display by selecting that option in the Standard
WebMail | Options | Mail Settings dialog at: 'Display Message Time in Browser'.
The calendar display will follow that selection.
