One of the features of the Horde Webmail client is its ability to store and share information between users of a particular domain. For example, the notepad feature allows you can create a notepad, add and save notes, then share the notepad to a fellow user within the same domain. This article will show you how to find the notes section, create a notepad, and how to share the notepad.
