Screenshots

Everybody loves screenshots. Here they are… but why not treat yourself to a live demo instead? You can view our Flash (SWF) Demo of a recent version of WebCit, or better yet, go to one of the public Citadel sites on the Internet and browse around!

Part of the Citadel system is WebCit, a rich web-based front end to the system. This screenshot shows a public folder or message board being viewed in WebCit.

Here's a calendar room being viewed in WebCit. Note the detail bubble which appears when you hover over an event.

And here's a traditional email folder view in WebCit, showing the convenient preview pane and drag-and-drop sorting of messages between folders.

Rich text editing of messages is possible, even in a web browser. This is supported in Gecko-based browsers such as Firefox, and in Internet Explorer. Other browsers will gracefully degrade to a simple text edit box.

WebCit has a convenient “summary” view, bringing together important information on one screen in real time.

Here is a task list being viewed in WebCit.

KDE Kontact v3.4 and above are easy to connect to Citadel using GroupDAV. Here we see a Citadel address book being viewed in Kontact.

You can connect Evolution to the Citadel calendar service using GroupDAV and the “Noodle” connector.

Microsoft Outlook can connect to Citadel's email and public folder services using Microsoft IMAP, or it can connect fully to email, public folders, calendars, contacts, tasks, etc. using the Bynari Connector product.

You can set up automatic forwarding of all email to an external mail account anywhere on the Internet (or elsewhere on a Citadel network, if you so desire). This is sometimes known in Unix parlance as a ”.forward file”.

In the above configuration, all mail will be sent to the forwarding address – it will not be kept in your Citadel inbox. If you would like to keep incoming mail in your Citadel inbox in addition to forwarding it, you need only add one extra rule. Edit the first rule, and change “Stop” to “Continue processing.” Then add a second rule which reads: “If (All), Keep, and then Stop.” The two rules together will look like this:

Citadel is groupware with BBS roots, so it's no surprise that Citadel still offers a traditional text-based BBS front end. This screenshot shows a listing of all the rooms on a Citadel site.

The text-based BBS front end allows quick and easy review and entry of messages.
