35.4 Post Office Access Mode

The GroupWise 6.x and later Windows client uses 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 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.
