Hello I have just installed Q4 and am trying to work around a few thing for example how to attach icons for different programs to te taskbar how to set up an email etc
Is there some spot in the forum where I should look for this type of thing/s.

Create the icon on the desktop(right click app and click add to desktop) and pull it down to the taskbar(make sure to unlock the panel so you can add the icons to the taskbar), just as was done with Windows.

Email youll need to pick an app, Thunderbird for instance and install it either from Synaptic package manager or the Q4OS software
center.

Once Thunderbird is installed it will walk you thru setting up your email(name of user,email address, password for ISP)

Look here for help with setup, www.q4os.org/documents.html

Not sure what desktop profile you selected at install but Im assuming it wasnt the full desktop given youre lacking some apps you need.

Welcome to the forum!

Forgot to mention that if you want to you can just get an online email account such as Gmail and dont even need an app such as Thunderbird to view them.
