Adapting to Differences between GroupWise and Outlook

As you become familiar with GroupWise, you will find that you can perform most of your typical e-mail tasks with ease. However, there are a few areas of functionality where GroupWise is substantially different from Exchange:

• GroupWise does not have a a feature like the Outlook Journal feature. The Migration Utility run by your system administrator created a Journal folder in your mailbox where existing journal entries are stored as a reference.
• Recurring items are stored in GroupWise as multiple, individual items, rather than as a single recurring item. This enables you to modify one or more of the recurring items individually, but does produce a large number of seemingly duplicate items. This is working as designed in GroupWise.
• GroupWise stores all contacts in a single address book that is linked to your Contacts folder, rather than storing contacts in multiple folders in your mailbox.
• GroupWise displays all appointments in the Calendar folder. If you had multiple Calendars in Outlook, all appointments are combined together in the GroupWise Calendar. However, you can display any GroupWise folder as a Calendar, so you can still view your separate Calendars in GroupWise.
• GroupWise allows you to store all types of items (messages, appointments, reminder notes, and so on) together in the same folder rather than having folders dedicated to specific item types.
