Getting Acquainted with GroupWise

GroupWise is a cross-platform, corporate e-mail system that provides secure messaging, calendaring, scheduling, and instant messaging. GroupWise also includes task management, contact management, document management, and other productivity tools. GroupWise can be used on your desktop at work, in a Web browser anywhere you have an Internet connection, and even on wireless devices.

Thanks to the Migration Utility that was run by your system administrator, the following tasks have already been done for you:

• Your GroupWise mailbox already contains all of the items that you had in your Outlook mailbox (unless your system administrator restricted the migration).
• Your Exchange distribution lists have been converted to GroupWise personal groups.
• All Exchange public folders have been converted into GroupWise shared folders. For each Exchange public folder where you had access, you should receive a notification that a corresponding GroupWise folder has been shared with you.
• Your Exchange Contacts folder has been converted into a GroupWise address book and is displayed in the GroupWise Contacts folder.

And now, thanks to the Import Utility, you have imported your personal items from Outlook into your GroupWise mailbox.
