Looks fine on the screen. I should also note that I tried sending it to multiple printers with the same result, so I don't think its a printer or driver issue.

Forwarded messages print as garbage

I have multiple users who are getting garbage when they try to print a forwarded message. The original text is completely garbled, while the person who forwarded them the message text is still in tact.

I cannot create tasks using two Google Calendars

I have two Calendars, both are Google calendars through the "Provider" extension. When I try to create a task nothing happens. If I add a local calendar I can create a task for it, but I don't want an additional calendar just to create tasks.

I am using Postbox 1.1.0b2, and Google Provider plugin 0.5.5

Cannot update relpies to an invitation I sent

I'm using Postbox version 1.0.1 (2009100516) on my mac. I sent out an invitation using Lightning and it worked fine. When I get replies I have an "update" button, but clicking that button gives the error: An error occurred when writing to the calendar Company Calendar!

If I click details it says "Error Number: MODIFICATION_FAILED"

I saw other users were having a similar issue with Google calendars. I am not using a Google calendar, I am using a Zimbra calendar connected through CalDav. View and adding events works fine, but the update button does not.

What sort of support does Postbox offer?

I am considering purchasing Postbox for a number of employees at a small business. I have a number of questions, but on of the big ones is going to be what sort of support is offered if we purchase this software? Is this site it? What if we did have an issue that couldn't be resolved on this site?

A comment on the question "Solution for small business?" in Wuala:

Bugreport is right, for $600 a year we could have our files stored online, the hardware alone would be $1500 + maintenance, electricity, down time - an online option really makes more sense. Especially since we have 3 locations + field techs that are all on super slow connections. If we tried to raise the speed of the internet connection in our main office that would cost us over $600 a month. – Dave Vanderploeg, on May 04, 2009 13:00

I'm a little lost on part of your reply, but the idea of a "take over files" button sounds good.

Short term that might work for us, but long term I'd love to see a Wuala for business.

While technically that would work, its not practical. At least half of my users can't remember to empty their recycle bin, let alone remove files they've shared.

Solution for small business?

I know this has been asked before, but how can I turn Wuala into a solution for my small business? I need about 100GB of storage split between 30 to 50 users. I need separate user accounts, because different users will have access to different files. The division of the storage needs to be fluid, since we don't know who will contribute the most data. The best solution in my mind is dedicating the storage space to a share, but I've read that its not a viable option.

Any hints from someone who's successfully set up a small business and replaced a local file server?
