You can use GroupWise WebAccess to modify options to change your password, change your time zone, create rules, and more.
This section contains the following topics:
From the GroupWise WebAccess main window, click the Options icon on the toolbar.
Type your old password.
Type your new password, then retype the new password to confirm it.
Remember that your password is case-sensitive.
Click OK.
When you change your password in GroupWise WebAccess, you change it for your GroupWise Mailbox. That means that you always use the same password to log in to your GroupWise Mailbox whether you are using GroupWise WebAccess or another version of the GroupWise client.
To ensure that dates and times are correct in messages, appointments, and other time-relevant information, GroupWise WebAccess must know the time zone in which you are located. For example GroupWise WebAccess automatically adjusts the time for appointments sent between people in different time zones. If you are located in New York and schedule a conference call with people in Los Angeles for 4:00 p.m. your time, the appointment received by the Los Angeles recipients will show the conference call at 1:00 p.m. their time.
By default, GroupWise WebAccess uses the time zone established for your GroupWise post office. However, if you are using GroupWise WebAccess in a time zone other than your post office's time zone, you should change your time zone setting. For example, if your post office is located in New York but you are working in Chicago, you would need to change your time zone setting from Eastern Time to Central Time.
The GroupWise WebAccess time zone setting applies only to GroupWise WebAccess. If you have access to the Windows version of the GroupWise client, that client will use the time zone configured through the Windows operating system, not the time zone you set in GroupWise WebAccess.
From the GroupWise WebAccess main window, click the Options icon on the toolbar.
Click Time Zone.
Select the time zone you want your GroupWise WebAccess messages and appointments based on.
Click Save.
You can create an electronic signature that contains your name, title, phone number, and so forth. You can then choose to add the signature automatically to items you send or to prompt you before adding it.
From the GroupWise WebAccess main window, click the Options icon on the toolbar.
Click Signature.
Click Activate Signature.
Type your signature text in the box.
Click Automatically Add Signature to have GroupWise WebAccess add the signature when you send the item.
or
Click Prompt Before Adding Signature to have GroupWise WebAccess prompt you before adding the signature when you send the item.
Click Save.
When you create a signature, GroupWise WebAccess stores it in your GroupWise Mailbox at your post office. Whether you log in to your Mailbox through GroupWise WebAccess or another version of the GroupWise client, you always have the same signature.
You can use rules to define actions that you want to be performed on items you receive. For example, you can forward or reply to messages or move messages to folders. Rules can help you organize your Mailbox, automate your Mailbox while you are away, or delete unwanted items.
When you create a rule, you must do the following:
To create a rule,
From the GroupWise WebAccess main window, click the Options icon on the toolbar.
Click Rules.
Select the type of rule you want to create:
Delete: Moves an item to the Trash. You can apply the rule to all new items or only new items that meet the criteria you establish.
Forward: Forwards an item to the recipients you specify. You can apply the rule to all new items or only new items that meet the criteria you establish.
Move to Folder: Moves an item to the folder you specify. You can apply the rule to all new items or to only new items that meet the criteria you establish.
Reply: Generates a reply to an item. The reply can go to the sender of the item only (Reply to Sender) or to all recipients of the item (Reply All). You can apply the rule to all new items or only new items that meet the criteria you establish.
Vacation: Generates a reply to all new items you receive. The reply goes to the sender of the item only (Reply to Sender), not to all recipients of the item (Reply All).
Click Create to display the Create Rule form.
Type the name you want to use for the rule. Names can include any characters, including spaces.
If desired, define an optional condition to limit the items that are affected by the rule. If you do not define an optional condition, the rule will be applied to all new items you receive.
You cannot define an optional condition for the Vacation rule. The Vacation rule is applied to all items.
Define the actions that you want performed when the rule is applied.
The actions vary depending on the type of rule you are creating. For example, when creating a rule to reply to items, you select whether you want to reply to the sender only or the sender and all recipients. When moving an item to a folder, you select the destination folder.
Click Save to save the rule to the Rules list.
By default, the rule is automatically activated. If you don't want the rule to be active at this time, deselect the rule's Activate box, then click Save.
or
To keep the rule active, click Close.
When you create a rule, GroupWise WebAccess stores it in your GroupWise Mailbox at your post office. Whether you log in to your Mailbox through GroupWise WebAccess or another version of the GroupWise client, you always have the same rules.
From the GroupWise WebAccess main window, click the Options icon on the toolbar.
Click Rules.
In the list of active rules, click the rule's check box to activate it or deactivate it.
