35.4 Post Office Access Mode

The GroupWise 6.x and later Windows client and the GroupWise 6.5 and later Linux/Mac client both use client/server access mode to the post office. This requires a TCP/IP connection between the GroupWise clients and the POA in order for users to access their mailboxes. Benefits of client/server access include:

Historical Note: In GroupWise 5.x, the GroupWise client allowed the user to enter a path to the post office directory to facilitate direct access mode. The GroupWise 6.x and later clients no longer offer the user that option. However, you can force the GroupWise 6.x and later client to use direct access by starting it with the /ph switch and providing the path to the post office directory.
