Chapter 2: What's New in GroupWise 7

In this chapter, we look at all the new features for GroupWise 7. For this version, Novell put most of the development into the client software that you run to access the information in GroupWise. The goal was to make the client interface more intuitive with a clean, uncluttered look and feel. As a result of this development effort, you can now choose between the "New Look" or the "Classic Look" when working in the GroupWise client. Many new client features and enhancements make using the GroupWise client very exciting.

In addition, GroupWise 7 adds significant new features, such as Multiple Calendars, Instant Messaging presence awareness, HTML/multiple signatures, and spell check as you type. Also added to GroupWise 7 is the ability to edit system distribution lists from the client, making distribution list administration a task that can now be delegated to select users. There are also many enhancements that allow you to more fully customize the client in a simple, intuitive manor. This allows you to interact with the GroupWise content using your own style and preferences.
