Universal desktop mailbox

PowerTalk gives you a single mailbox icon for all incoming and outgoing
mail—including fax, voice, electronic mail, and documents. Communication
from on-line services and electronic mail from various sources are routed to
your desktop mailbox when you install mail gateways supplied by the vendor.

Catalogs

PowerTalk catalogs store information about users and groups that you need
for effective communication. The Catalogs icon gives you access to the shared
catalogs that are available on your network.

To see a sample catalog, double-click the Catalogs icon to open it. Then
locate and open the AppleTalk catalog. When the AppleTalk catalog is open,
you can access your entire AppleTalk network, including servers and
individuals.

You can create information cards to store information about individuals or
groups with whom you communicate often. The cards make it easier to
exchange information. For example, you can send someone a document by
dragging the document’s icon onto the person’s information card icon.
