Chapter 13. GroupWise WebAccess

The WebAccess version of the GroupWise client enables you to access your GroupWise mailbox from your web browser, no matter where you happen to be in the world. With WebAccess, you can check your messages or send new GroupWise messages, process incoming messages, check your calendar, schedule appointments, send tasks, and more. You can use WebAccess to do almost all the GroupWise tasks you would do from the regular GroupWise client.

NOTE

The GroupWise system must be properly configured before you can access your mailbox from your web browser. Ask your system administrator whether your GroupWise system supports WebAccess.

In this chapter, we don't cover the concepts behind the topics discussed here (for example, when you should use a task in the calendar instead of an appointment); you can refer to earlier chapters for additional background information. Instead, we focus on how to perform these tasks in the WebAccess client.

Some functions are available in the Windows client program, but you can't access them using GroupWise WebAccess. They include discussion thread views, filters, POP3/IMAP/NNTP access, multiple calendar print options, address book sharing, and the capability to resend items.

GroupWise 7 WebAccess has six major new features:

• New look and feel to better match the GroupWise Windows client experience

• Drag-and-drop functionality

• Right-click context-sensitive drop-down menus

• Name completion when composing items

• Support for creating posted item types

• Folder management including shared folders

You will find that the GroupWise WebAccess client is a powerful, quick, and easy-to-use interface into your GroupWise information.
