If I set a vacation message/auto-response, how often will folks who email me frequently receive it?

We have had several people ask about the auto responder in Zimbra and whether it will autorespond each time an email arrives, or if it will only send the autoresponse the first time an individual emails the account with the autoresponse.

FAQ - Where’s my address book?

Several folks have noted that their contacts are not immediately showing up in the new Communication Center.

The BMC Computing Infrastructure Migration - the individual experience

Here’s the latest draft of what we anticipate the individual’s experience of the migration will be. One important change from earlier plans is that we will start out using the web version of the calendar only. There are some issues we need to make sure are functioning correctly before we open the connection [...]

In late December we received the approval and support of the senior administration and Board of Trustees of the College to begin a major upgrade to these systems.
