Calendar
To open the calendar click the calendar button on the main window's toolbar. This opens
the Calendar View window, which displays the current month in a grid view. You can switch
to Week and Year view using the Calendar View's toolbar.By default the main mail store's calendar folder will be listed as a event source in the list on the bottom left. You can add other calendar folders as event sources by right clicking in that area and selecting "Add Calendar". For existing calendar's you can also right click on them to change their colour, or path or even delete them. Deleting a calendar doesn't delete the folder in the mail store, just remove it from displaying in the calendar view.
To create a new appointment, single click on the cell you want the appointment to start in, and then a new window to edit the details of the appointment will appear. If you are in the week view you can click and then drag the mouse to change the end time of the event.
You can move an appointment to another time or day using drag and drop. In the week view you can drag the top or bottom edge to change the start or end time.
You can also attach an appointment to an email by dragging it onto a mail window. The appointment is saved as a vCal file and attached to the email. vCal files can be used by most other calendaring software. Likewise, dragging a vCal file from an email to the calendar view or a calendar folder in the main window will import that appointment into your calendar. Note: Currently no facility exists to merge this with an existing copy of the same appointment. The start/end date fields are formatted according to the Appearence options. If "auto" is selected and you're running on Windows then the regional settings date format is used. Otherwise if you're not running Windows then 'auto' means "d/m/yyyy h:m:s", because that is the default where I live ;) If you enter the start or end date directly, then you must adhere to the format otherwise things will not work. However there are drop down boxes to edit the date and time parts separately to the right of the start and end fields. The first drop down allows you to select the date, and the 2nd drop down changes the time part. To give yourself warning of an upcoming event, you can set an alarm in the calendar event window by selecting "Popup" or "Email" next to the Reminders label, setting the number of minutes before the event and clicking "Add". After you save the event Scribe will notify the user if Scribe is running. However if Scribe is started after an Alarm was due then it will appear immediately.
