How come I can see the Quick Contacts (chat) box in the left sidebar?
Google recommends that you use Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2 in order to access the latest Google features. For more information on the web browsers that Google supports, see the Google website. Note: Using Safari to access your my.smccd Google Apps account will create minor issues. For example, when you log into your my.smccd email account, you won’t see the Quick Contacts (chat) box in the left sidebar. If you have a Mac, using the latest version of Firefox will allow you to see the Quick Contacts box in the left sidebar of Google Apps gmail pages. This display issue only affects Google Apps for Education accounts and not standard Gmail accounts. Google releases features for its commercial Gmail system before it releases features for Google Apps for Education. Google does not provide a list of the different features available in standard accounts and Google Apps for Education.
