One of the easiest features of GroupWise is also probably the most useful feature for remote users. Hit the Road is a one-step way to update your remote Mailbox before you leave the office. The Hit the Road feature is used while you are connected to the network and directly accessing your master Mailbox. As your final preparation for leaving the office, you use the Hit the Road feature to do a last-minute synchronization of your remote Mailbox. This prevents a long connection during your first GroupWise remote connection after leaving the office. TIP If you use Hit the Road while connected to the network, a network connection is created automatically. You won't have to manually enter the network connection information discussed earlier. The instructions in this section assume that you have already configured your system to use GroupWise in Remote Mode. To use Hit the Road, follow these steps:
You are now ready to "hit the road." NOTE You will see two or three extra windows open and close automatically while the synchronization takes place. If you want more information about what is happening, click the Show Log button of the Network Connection dialog box. |
