Comment by Joseph Owuondo on January 29, 2012 at 5:24am: Hi Election Monitoring Guys,

Am back here again! How have you been. I have been actually within the community and for the last few days i have been working on an agriculture project. Next month (Feb) i will probably embark on Election Monitoring and Reporting project for Kenya. If someone in Kenya is already working on the same, kindly let us link. I can share some experiences and human resources if need be.

Hope to hear from you good people soonest.

Comment by Florence Scialom on November 22, 2011 at 4:25am: Hi Joseph,

There is a section in the FrontlineSMS help files about email settings which may be useful - you can find this online here (as well as within FrontlineSMS software under the Help menu option). If this doesn't give you the information you need then can I ask that you start a new discussion under the forum tab, providing as much detail as possible about the problem you are having.

Thanks,

Flo
