Adapting to Differences between the GroupWise Connector for Outlook and Outlook

As you become familiar with the GroupWise Connector for Outlook, you will find that you can perform most of your typical Outlook tasks with ease. However, there are a few areas of functionality where GroupWise is slightly different from the GroupWise Connector for Outlook:

• Journals do not exist in GroupWise. You can still create Journals, but they are only visible to you.
• Because public folders are not supported in the GroupWise Connector for Outlook, the Find Public Folders item on the Tools menu has been removed. Shared folders provide similar functionality to public folders for sharing items with other users. You cannot share the folder with everyone on the system; you must select individual users to share the folder with.
• GroupWise handles junk mail differently from Outlook. If you have set up junk mail handling in GroupWise, a Junk Mail folder appears in the folder list, but it doesn't have access to GroupWise junk mail functionality. To handle junk mail in the GroupWise Connector for Outlook, use the default Outlook junk mail system. For more information on how to us the junk mail system, see the Outlook Help.
• Outlook and GroupWise use different default categories. Because of this, if you move from the GroupWise Connector for Outlook to a GroupWise client, your categories in the GroupWise Connector for Outlook are not preserved in the GroupWise client.
• When creating a delegate, there are a few differences in the settings. In Outlook, you can specify if you want a delegate to receive copies of meeting-related messages sent to you. In the GroupWise Connector for Outlook, you do not have this option. In Outlook, you can specify if you want Outlook to automatically send a message to a delegate summarizing these permissions. In the GroupWise Connector for Outlook, you don't have this option. In Outlook, you can specify if you want the delegate to see your private items. In the GroupWise Connector, you do not have this option. In the GroupWise Connector for Outlook, the delegate cannot see items that you have marked private. In Outlook, you can specify to send meeting requests and responses only to your delegates, and not to you. In the GroupWise Connector for Outlook, you do not have this option. Meetings are automatically sent to you and not your delegates. Your delegate can view your calendar or mailbox if you have assigned these rights to your delegate.
• Proxy is specific to GroupWise and does not exist in Outlook. In GroupWise, you use Proxy to manage another user's Mailbox and Calendar. Proxy lets you perform various actions, such as reading, accepting, and declining items on behalf of another user within the restrictions the other user sets.
