Use the one you end up feeling most comfortable with and that provides you |
| 34 |
with the functionality and usability that is important to you. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I quite like the usual stuff (email, calendar, addressbook, todolist) and |
| 37 |
extra stuff (projects, bug/feature/support/.... tracker, wiki, knowledgebase, |
| 38 |
bookmarklist) that is in egroupware and the seamless way in which all these |
| 39 |
are integrated together and where you can easily link different items |
| 40 |
together. |
| 41 |
(Can't link directly to an email, but you can add an email to the "infolog" |
| 42 |
which can then be linked and/or converted to a todo-item, project, .....) |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
There are a few things I still want to experiment with, including something I |
| 45 |
think will allow me to automatically create certain items from emails. For |
| 46 |
instance, an email to " support@×××××××.com " would be either merged into an |
| 47 |
existing support-call or a new call created depending on some filter. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
But that is something I'll play with over the next few months :) |
