Configuring Exchange Portlet Properties

This chapter provides information for modifying portlet properties files for mail, contact, and calendar portlets.

To configure your mail properties:

  2. You can modify true/false values to enable or disable a feature. You can modify numeric values to set preferred constraints. You can change image file names if you have copied custom image files to the Image Service. The following table lists the preference values that administrators typically modify.

    message.editor.width
