Standard web client interface
You can view the standard web client interface in either Classic or Enhanced mode by choosing the correct item from Primary web interface pulldown menu on the Display tab of the .sitepref form.
 NoteYou can only view the Enhanced settings using Internet Explorer. All other browsers will render the Classic template view.
The Enhanced view mode more closely maps to the FirstClass client user interface, and provides for exact icon positioning and a framed window when in split-view mode.
This is how Roy Allan's Desktop on Husky Planes looks in both Classic and Enhanced modes:

 Mobile web client interface
The mobile web client interface provides the view users see when they log in using a handheld device. This web client is built on lightweight HTML and focuses more on links and text rather than on complex graphical interfaces. The mobile web client supports these browsers: Blazer, Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer, and Opera's PDA browser. They also support screen readers for the visually impaired (for example JAWS). For information on using the mobile web client interface, see Navigating on a browser in the online Handhelds Help.

 Simplified Mail client interface
The Simplified Mail web client interface and functionality is less complex than the standard web client interface. You may want to use this simpler interface for your staff if they only require certain basic features and not the full complement of features seen in the standard templates. Since the Simplified Mail templates are controlled by permissions, you can provide different sets of users with different features. For information on setting individual and group permissions, see About user groups and organizational units. For information on using the Simplified
Mail client, see Webmail Help.
The different features you can provide are:
• viewing the Mailbox
• creating new Messages
• using the Address Book and Memos
• creating folders
• the above features plus using Calendars and Conferences.
With the second level of features enabled, this is what Lyn Ericksson sees when she logs into her Desktop:
If you want to provide your users with the ability to use conferences, there is a bit more work involved. As with the other features, you first need to provide the correct permissions. Then you must create a conference on the administrator's Desktop and model it to your users' Desktops. This conference must reside on your users' Desktops for them to see it. Next, you must set the name of the conference you want to appear on the tab in the HeaderMatch document. You can choose either a single conference configuration or multi-conference configuration (subcontainers inside the main
conference). We created a conference called Conferences and placed it on all of our users' Desktops. Next, we configured the relevant section of the Husky Planes HeaderMatch document:
#Simplified Mail templates conference tab to switch between multiple and single conferences, comment both if no conference tab
#*.VAR MULTICONF = <name of multiple conference>
*. VAR SINGLECONF = Conferences
NoteTo activate the syntax, remove the pound sign from the relevant line.
You can only have one conference tab showing at a time. For example, if you place this syntax in your HeaderMatch document
*.VAR SINGLECONF = Engineering conferences
*.VAR SINGLECONF = Sales conferences
you only see one tab named Sales conferences; you will not see a second tab named Engineering conferences. Internet Services always uses the last syntax line, in this case, *.VAR SINGLECONF = Sales conferences, regardless of how many lines you have entered. If you want to provide your users with a multiple-conference environment, use *.VAR MULTICONF = <name of multiple conference> and add subcontainers.
