Environment

Novell GroupWise WebAccess 7.x
Novell GroupWise WebAccess 8.x
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0

Situation

Does GroupWise WebAccess support the Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) web browser?

Resolution

Novell fully supports Internet Explorer 8 connecting to GroupWise WebAccess with GroupWise 8 Support Pack 1 (or later).  Novell did not test and does not officially support IE8 connecting to the versions earlier than SP1 (including the original release of GroupWise 8.0.0 or GroupWise 8.0.0 Hot Patch 1.

For GroupWise 7.x customers, most functions of WebAccess should work with Internet Explorer 8, but Novell has no plans to implement official support for IE8 in GroupWise 7.x.
