Where can I learn more about the new GroupWise?
Go to
http://www.novell.com/products/GroupWise/ and click on GroupWise 6.5 overview and interactive flash demo, if
prompted, download the plug-in. It is highly recommended to click the
"Skip Intro".
Can I use the old
GroupWise to send mail?
Please do not use the old GroupWise to send an e-mail to
people on the new GroupWise system. Doing so will cause a problem. All replies
to that e-mail will be sent to your old account. If you need to send
e-mail from the old GroupWise system, DO NO USE
THE ADDRESS BOOK, type the address, i.e.
JDoe@law.villanova.edu. If you use
the address book it will go to
JDoe@old.law.villanova.edu.
Why are there non-junk mail in the junk mail folder?
When we first started the
new server there was a rule that sent
all E-mail from off campus to the Junk folder. This rule was changed by
1:30pm on Thursday.
How do I create folders?
To create a folder:
-
In the Folder List, click File > New > Folder.
-
To create a folder that only you can access, make sure
Personal Folder is selected > click Next.
Type the name and description for the new folder.
-
Click Up, Down, Right, or Left to
position the folder where you want it in the Folder List > click Next.
-
Click Finish. Skip the rest of the
steps.
How do I move my address book?
From Prof. Maule:
My guess is that a lot of folks will want to do this. It is easy with one
warning. Before exporting frequent contacts, DELETE ALL THE ENTRIES THAT ARE TO
old.villanova.law.edu, else it will bring over addresses that no longer will be
worthwhile.
Instructions:
Before you begin, check the address book for any reference to addresses with (user name)@old.villanova.edu or any addresses with inet:.
In OLD client, open address book. Go to the tab for any book OTHER than the
GroupWise books. Click on File, click on Export, click on entire book, then
browse to the X: drive and save with a name like oldaddrbook1.NAB.
Do the same thing for any other tabs OTHER than the GroupWise books. Use a
name such as oldaddrbook2.NAB. (each tab is treated as a separate book).
Then open the NEW client, and open address book. Click on File, click on
import, browse to the X: drive and select one of the NAB files. Then do this
again (click on file, click on import, etc) for however many other books were
exported.
There probably will be two books... the tab with the user's own name, and the
Frequent Contacts tab.
Feel free to share these instructions.

How do I get the email messages
from the old system to the new system?
From the old email, right click a message and select forward
and USE your full address Doe@law.villanova.edu, DO NOT use the address or auto complete because
message will go back to your old account.
I clicked on the new GroupWise
icon but it looks just like the old GroupWise?
Only one instance of GroupWise can be open at a time.
Either the new or the old GroupWise can be open. If you have GroupWise notify
running, the little GroupWise icon by the clock, right click it and select exit.
After closing notify, click on the GroupWise icon you wish to open.
