Problem

For some reason you can't get to Groupwise WebAccess, or for some reason your company hasn't set up Groupwise Mobile - therefore you need a way to view your accepted GroupWise appointments.

Solution

Here are the steps for pushing out your accepted GroupWise appointments to your Google Calendar:

1. From GroupWise, create a rule like this:
"When event is Filed to Calendar folder and if condition is Appointment, Add Action to Delegate to: name@gmail.com Comments to recepient:GWDelgate"

2. From gmail, create a filter where the search criteria is from your GroupWise email address, name@source.domain, and has the words GWDelegate.

3. Set the action to "Delete it".

Note: I was able to then set up gmobilesync, http://rareedge.com/gmobilesync/, to sync my Google calendar to my Windows Mobile 5 device and thus my GroupWise Calendar. Version 1.4 of the app will include the ability to schedule a sync.

Gmail not auto posting meetings by email

Submitted by Anonymous on 16 November 2008 - 9:41am.

Looks like this does not seem to be working for at least some people as of Nov 2008. It seems Gmail is not recognizing delegated meetings from GW and posting the new event automatically.

The email does get to Gmail but it seems a manual intervention is needed to actually post an event.

Anyone know if Gmail was changed?

I've seen the postings about needing to set Gmail to US English and that does not seem to make a difference anymore.
