1.2 Starting GroupWise

When you start GroupWise, you might be prompted to type information such as your password, the TCP/IP address of your post office agent, and so forth. This Startup dialog box changes, depending on the information GroupWise needs to be able to open your Mailbox, and the GroupWise mode that you log in to.

Your system administrator might restrict the GroupWise modes you can log in to.

On your own workstation:

  1. Start GroupWise by double-clicking Shortcut to GroupWise icon to display the GroupWise Main Window.

    If you have not specified a password for your Mailbox and GroupWise needs no additional information, you bypass the Startup dialog box and GroupWise opens.

  2. If you are prompted for a password, type the password in the Password field.

  3. If you are prompted for additional information, click the mode of GroupWise you are logging in to and type additional information as necessary, such as the TCP/IP address and port of the Post Office Agent.

    If you do not know the required information, contact your system administrator.

  4. Click OK.

For instructions to start GroupWise under specialized circumstances, see Section 16.1, Managing Non-Standard Login Requirements.
