USING iCAL AT SMITH


iCal, the Apple calendaring program, is easy to integrate with Apple Mail and allows you to import events from your GroupWise calendar. (For general information about iCal, see Apple's Mac 101: iCal document.)

Important! Before you can perform the iCal steps below, you must first set up Apple Mail as described in our Apple Mail instructions.
