Menu, Tool and Status Bars

The menu, tool and status bars are adapted to the active component. That means that, in addition to some common functions like the help menu which are shown for all components, there are actions which are switched when the active component is switched. These actions available for each component are the same ones which are also available when running the application stand-alone.

A special action common to all components is the New action. It allows creation of new objects like emails, contacts, appointments and todos independently of which component is active. The component responsible for processing the selected object is started, if required, and takes over the created object.

Another common action is the Synchronize action. It synchronizes mail and groupware folders depending on the active component. E.g., if the Calendar component is active, the button synchronizes all Calendar folders. In the Summary, the action synchronizes all folders independent of their content.
