the Mail portlet to better understand this feature. The scheduler-class value must be a class that implements
Scheduler and is called to schedule Quartz jobs for this portlet. The preferences-sharing-type value indicates
the preferences sharing type of the portlet. If set to none, preferences are not shared and each page will have its
own set of preferences. If set to user, preferences are shared by user if the portlet is in a personal page or by
group if the portlet is in a group page. If set to company, preferences are shared across the entire company. The
show-portlet-access-denied value, if set to true, means non-permissioned users are shown that they do not have
access to the portlet. The default value is set in portal.properties. The show-portlet-inactive value, if set to true,
means users are shown that the portlet is inactive (if the portlet is inactive). The default value is set in
portal.properties
