How to run Groupwise from your desktop:

Double click on the GroupWise icon to access the e-mail service. You will be asked for your
user id and password, which are the same as those used to signon to your machine each day. You
will then see the following screen which is the Main Window. From here, you can open the
Mailbox, Sent Items, Trash, and Calendar folders, and you can send and organize items such as
mail, appointments, tasks, and reminder notes.

                                                                                            2

Mail

Mail is a powerful GroupWise tool for sending messages and files to other users on your system.

saved in your Sent Items folder.

       Send button.
You can send mail to a user who is on another mail system, such as the Internet, by typing his or

       do the following steps. Click Tools on the menu bar, click options..., then the
       Environment icon. Make sure you are in the General tab and look in the lower right
       corner of this window to select view or open attachment (view lets you see the document

       the document within it if possible)

       menu bar and then select Save As. Click on the attachment in the list you will see next.

Folders

You may have already noted that you receive many different items that pertain to specific
projects, or relate to specific areas and subjects. You can organize your items into personal
folders to organize correspondence that pertains to a specific subject or project.

Personal folders that you create are stored in the Cabinet, Work in Progress or Main Folder. You
can set up hierarchical folders (folders within other folders) to further the detail of this
organization system. When you create personal sub-folders, they are listed alphabetically.

When you open GroupWise for the first time, a master folder is created with your name as the
title. This is known as the root folder. You can create sub-folders under this root folder or in the
Cabinet and Work In Progress folders.

When a folder contains sub-folders, a + or - button appears next to it. When you click the +
button, GroupWise expands the folder to show you the next level of folders. To close the folder
and hide all of the sub-folders, click the - button.

                                                                                                    6

Managing Messages:

Archiving Messages Archiving allows you to store messages you need to keep on your hard
drive. This will mean that you can delete messages from your mailbox (and trash) and therefore
save space on the server. (You will not be able to archive messages when you are using web
access) Before you can archive messages you must create and designate an archive folder on your
hard drive. To create the folder you can use Windows explorer to create and name the folder
appropriately. After you have created the directory you can then specify it for archive use
through GroupWise.
        To specify the archive directory:
        1.     Click on Tools
        2.     Click on Options
        3.     Double click the Environment icon
        4.     Click on the file location tab
        5.     Enter a directory path in the archive directory field or browse to locate the
               directory you just created on your hard drive
        6.     Click OK, then close
        To archive your messages:
        1.     From a folder in GroupWise such as your Mailbox or Sent Items, select the items
               you wish to archive (to select multiple messages you may use the Shift and Ctrl
               key combinations)
        2.     Click on Actions on the menu bar
        3.     Click on Archive
        To view archived messages:
        1.     Click on File on the menu bar
        2.     Click on Open Archive

                                                                                               10
3.     The archive messages will be listed ( if you click on File again now you will see a
              check by archive to indicate that it is open)
       4.     Double click on any message you wish to read
       5.     To return to the Mailbox, Click on File again and Open Archive to take the check
              mark off and close the Archive folder
       To unarchive messages:
       1.     Open the Archive folder as in the View instructions
       2.     Select the message(s) you wish to unarchive.
       3.     Click Actions on the menu bar
       4.     Click Archive to take the check mark off and return the message to your mailbox

Saving Messages Saving messages is not the same as archiving. When you save a message it is
not deleted from your mailbox and it is saved in a separate type file as a WordPerfect compatible
document (you will still be able to open these in Word)
        To save messages:
        1.     Select the message you want to save
        2.     Click on File on the menu bar
        3.     Click on Save As
        4.     Specify the directory you wish to save to on your hard drive and change the name
               of the file if you wish.
        5.     Click on Save (you will see saved beside the message when it is done)
        6.     Click on Close
