This icon is used to set default parameters for GroupWise Remote operations. When you double-click this icon, you see the Accounts dialog box, shown in Figure 10.9. (You can also access the accounts settings by choosing Accounts, Account Options.) Figure 10.9. Use the Accounts (Remote) options to establish GroupWise Remote parameters. 
From the Accounts dialog box, you can select an account and click the Properties button to modify the connection properties for GroupWise Remote. You can also click General Options to force GroupWise to synchronize with the master mailbox on given intervals. TIP The Account options are also available from cache mode.
