6.5 Tasks
Kerio Outlook Connector (Offline Edition) supports storing of task folders in the Kerio
MailServer’s store. This means that tasks can be accessed also via Kerio WebMail or another
client application supporting task management over the Internet.
6.5.1 How to create tasks
Kerio Outlook Connector (Offline Edition) allows assigning of tasks to other persons. This
tool is helpful for example to team leaders and managers who can delegate tasks to their
subordinates who can later redelegate parts of the task to other persons.
One of the advantages of delegating of tasks to other persons is that the person who assigns
the task is informed about the task’s progress. Once the person to whom the task was as-
signed accepts the task, we keep being informed on the task’s progress as well as of the task’s
completion at the end of the process. One task can be always assigned to one person only.
To assign a task, follow these instructions:
1. Create a new task.
2. On the Task tab in the toolbar, click on Assign Task (see figure 6.15 ).
Figure 6.15 Assigning of a task
3. This opens the To entry. Enter the email address of the person to whom you want to
assign the task.
4. Click on Send to assign the task.
The task is now sent to the addressee’s mailbox where it can be either accepted or refused by
the mailbox user. If the task is accepted. it is moved to the Tasks folder automatically. Upon
each update of the task’s status, an email message with information on changes is sent to the
person who created the task.
6.6 Notes
Kerio MailServer supports note folders. This implies that note folders are stores on the server
and you can access them also via Kerio WebMail.
