Using the Search field
Another way of looking for a specific message is the Search field in the toolbar. Search string
(a word, part of a word or a character) can be entered in this field. Messages are looked up by
sender address or message subject. Simply enter the first letters of an address or subject. The
messages found will be listed directly in the message list.
1.5.10 Interrupted connection between the server and the browser
Sometimes, the connection between Kerio MailServer and a web browser may be interrupted.
Connection may be interrupted by a connection failure or by expiration of the session timeout
set in Kerio MailServer.1.
If the connection fails, it is necessary to reconnect by authentication by username and pass-
word.
If a message is just being edited when the connection fails, it is possible to finish it and
reconnect by authenticating by username and password upon clicking on the Send button (see
figure 1.45).

Warning: Bewareof closing the window with the edited message before the new authentication.
Otherwise, the message will be lost.
1.6 Contacts
Most of us use or at least know address books and little notebooks where names, phone num-
bersand addresses of family members, friends,colleagues, businesspartners and other people
are kept. Another possibility to remember contacts is keeping of business cards provided by
people we meet. In these times of booming electronic communication where we are almost
becoming slaves of time, looking contacts up in tiny pocket books and visit-card filers is too
time-consuming and ineffective.
For this reason, contact folders have been developed. Actually, these folders are electronic
address books replacing the old-fashioned methods of contact maintenance. In addition to
the fact that all contacts are kept together, other advantages come along, such as easy look-up
and automatic recognition of known email addresses while being written.
KerioMailServer allows setting of timeouts for total time of sessions and for idle connections. Thesesettings increase
