Day 61: And into LowryDemo we go

Started LowryDemo documentation. It's difficult to get your head round such a massive program and then try to work out how to even structure the documentation, but it seems to be taking shape slowly.

Finally got the IMAP working fully, updated the guides and tutorials and the wiki. Published the google doc tutorials for mbox importing and for setting up Thunderbird IMAP, and then linked them into the wiki. Also made pdf's of them and sent those to Graham so he can consider putting them onto the wiki in place of the google docs because the google stuff is obviously hosted on Google's servers which is less than ideal.

It turned out the way Thunderbird works is that you need to only enter the server name in the IMAP and SMTP settings boxes, and then let it auto-detect the rest of it. It actually uses different ports and protocols to what Outlook was using.

In the email field you need to enter your user ID that can be found on outlook, mine was firstname.lastname@student.manchester.ac.uk

In the username field you enter your Campus ID, e.g. mbxxxxxx, and in the password field your Campus password.

All done, now to concentrate on documentation! Aiming to finish it by tomorrow.
