Helping GroupWise Locate Your Mailbox

Depending on your system's configuration, you will need to provide the GroupWise client with one of the following pieces of information:

• TCP/IP address and port

• The path to your caching mailbox

• The path to your remote mailbox

Entering Online Information

To access your master mailbox, you will need to provide your username and password and a valid TCP/IP address and port in the Online Address and Port fields.

The Online Address field requires the IP address of the post office agent. This is not the IP address of your workstation. The Port field requires an IP port number. Again, you need to ask your system administrator for the information to be entered. You could also ask another GroupWise user to check the Help, About GroupWise screen and tell you the IP address that displays in the dialog box (the default GroupWise port number is 1677, but that can be configured differently by the GroupWise administrator).

Entering Caching Information

If you are using GroupWise in the Caching Mode (explained in Chapter 10, "Remote Access"), you will need to enter a local path to your GroupWise cache directory. You might need to open Windows Explorer to discover this path, or you can ask your administrator. A sample path is shown earlier in Figure A.1.

Entering Remote Information

If you are starting GroupWise in the Remote Mode (explained in Chapter 10), you will need to enter a local path to your GroupWise remote directory. You might need to open Windows Explorer to discover this path, or you can ask your administrator. A sample path is shown earlier in Figure A.1.
