Fourth Issue: New Year's Tech Resolutions
In this issue of Tech Tidbits, we resolve to:
- Get organized: Creating folders and filters in Zimbra
- Stay out of the red: Cleaning sent mail and unsubscribing to email in Zimbra
- Manage your digital reputation: Setting up Google alerts
If you need help working through any of these tidbits, use the appointment request form near the end of this flyer.
Find the "Egg" and Win a Prize!
Don't forget! Find this image hidden in one of the videos or resources linked in this flyer. The first two CHS staff members to email Janna with the location of the "egg" win a prize.
Last month's winners were Christine Roberts (Math) and Allen Cochran (Business). Who will beat them this month?
Resolution 1: Creating folders and filters in Zimbra
Are you tired of searching and scrolling through your email to find things? Do you want to create and color code folders to organize your kept messages? Did you know you can create filters so messages with specified subjects or senders automatically go into folders? Follow the guide and video below to create and use folders and filters in Zimbra mail.

Resolution 2: Cleaning sent mail and unsubscribing in Zimbra
Do you find your email in the yellow or even red? Did you know that much of your Zimbra storage is taken up by sent mail? Are you getting too many messages that you don't remember subscribing for? Follow the guide and video below to set up your sent mail to regularly delete itself and unsubscribe to emails you don't want.

Do you need a tech trick or troubleshoot for an issue you are having? Do you have a tech tidbit to share?
We would love to hear from you! If you're having an issue that may be plaguing others or if you've come across something that might be helpful to the rest of the staff, please send it to Janna, and she'll get it in the next issue.
