Simple Groupware can be integrated into your desktop: You can use it as your default mail client and integrate the bookmarks into Firefox or other RSS clients.

Register Simple Groupware as your default mail client (Windows)

Open regedit and change HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command to:

"c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" http(s)://your_server/ \
sgs_path/bin/index.php?view=new&username=<username>&folder=/Workspace/ \
Personal folders/<username>/E-mail/eto=%1"

Or create a .reg file with the following content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command]
@="\"c:\\program files\\mozilla firefox\\firefox.exe\" \
\"https://invalid.com/sgs/bin/index.php?view=new&username=testuser1& \
folder=/Workspace/Personal folders/testuser1/E-mail/eto=%1\""

The first value is the location of the webbrowser executable, typically Firefox. The second one is the URL of Simple Groupware containing the view ("new"), the folder ("E-mail" in the personal home directory) and the mail address ("%1") to send the mail to. Also if you're not logged in, a popup comes up to ask for the credentials.

Register Simple Groupware as your default mail client (Linux / KDE)

Go to "K (start) -> System -> Configuration -> KDE Components -> Component chooser". Select "Mail Client" and "Use another mail client". Type in the box:

/usr/bin/firefox "http(s)://your_server/sgs_path/bin/ \
index.php?view=new&username=<username>&folder=/Workspace/ \
Personal%20folders/<username>/E-mail/eto=%t"

And click "Apply". The URL may not contain white spaces, therefore use "%20" instead.

Register Simple Groupware as your default mail client (Linux / GNOME)

Go to "Applications -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications". Select "Custom Mail Reader", and type in the box:

/usr/bin/firefox "http(s)://your_server/sgs_path/bin/ \
index.php?view=new&username=<username>&folder=/Workspace/ \
Personal folders/<username>/E-mail/eto=%s"

And click "Save". The URL may not contain white spaces, therefore use "%20" instead.

Using Simple Groupware bookmarks in Firefox

Log in to Simple Groupware and navigate to the bookmarks folder. Then click on the RSS symbol next to the URL in Firefox and confirm with "Ok". A new live bookmark has been created. Now open the bookmarks in the sidebar, right click the new live bookmark and add your username and password to the feed location (e.g. username=testuser1&password=secret). Now the bookmarks from the bookmark folder in Simple Groupware appear as a live bookmark in Firefox. If you have more than one bookmark folder, simply repeat this procedure for the other folders.

Note: RSS feeds are available for every folder in Simple Groupware. If the folder doesn't contain bookmarks, all entries are placed in the live bookmark.

Using Simple Groupware bookmarks with any RSS client

Log in to Simple Groupware and navigate to the bookmarks folder. Below the tree there is a "RSS" link. Copy the link location to your RSS client and add your username and password to it (e.g. username=testuser1&password=secret).

Note: RSS feeds are available for every folder in Simple Groupware. If the folder doesn't contain bookmarks, all entries are placed in the RSS feed.
