Dirk,

Regarding cloud access I am a bit confused with the workflow. Please 
explain in a bit more detail?

In the preferences panel, should I enter my own email address and an 
arbitrary password? The pin gets
sent to my own email address?
If this is so, where does one use ssrftest at hohndel.org and the password 
associated with that email address?
Kind regards,
willlem
