The Deskbar

Zeta doesn't have it's own inbuilt PIM (Personal Information Manager). But it has an application called People, that is quite unique!

People stores it's data in a Person file format in the folder /boot/home/people, and each contact is stored in it's own file. Thanks to Zeta's query system you can easily find things like all your business contacts in Norway.

When you want to write an email to some of your contacts, you can simply just drag the needed Person files into the To: field of the message.
