Environment Options: General
The options determine such settings as the refresh interval for new messages, whether users can create shared folders and address books, and which types of accounts can be used in Online mode.
Refresh Interval
Determines how often the GroupWise client message lists are updated to reflect new message status. The default is 1 minute.
Allow Shared Folder Creation
Enables users to share folders with other users. By default, this option is enabled.
Allow Shared Address Book Creation
Enables users to share address books with other users. By default, this option is enabled.
Check Spelling As You Type
Automatically spell checks as text is typed. By default, this option is enabled.
Check Spelling Before Send
Automatically spell checks the message text of each item before the item is sent. By default, this option is disabled.
Show Messenger Presence
Displays Messenger presence information in the GroupWise client. Messenger presence enables users to easily choose instant messaging as an alternative to email. Messenger presence icons appear in the field of a received message, in the Quick Info for users specified in the , , and fields of a new message, and in the Quick Info for users in the GroupWise Address Book. Messenger presence is enabled by default.
Enable Conversation Threading
Select this option to enable users to use conversation threading in their mailbox.
Allow Use of News (NNTP) Accounts in the Online Mailbox
Select this option to enable users to set up newsgroup (NNTP) accounts while using the GroupWise client in Online mode.
Display Retain Archive Settings
Select this option to allow users to use Retain to archive their mailbox. You must also specify the URL of your Retain server in the field. If disabled, Retain Archive settings are not displayed in the GroupWise Client.
Display GroupWise Archive Settings
Select this option to allow user to use the GroupWise Archive to archive their mailbox. If disabled, GroupWise Archive settings are not displayed in the GroupWise Client.
Allow Use of POP and IMAP Accounts in the Online Mailbox
Select this option to enable users to access POP and IMAP accounts while using the GroupWise client in Online mode.
By default, this option is disabled. If you enable this option, an menu is added to the GroupWise client, allowing users to add POP and IMAP accounts to GroupWise, set account properties, and send and retrieve items from their POP and IMAP accounts. In addition, users are allowed to upload POP and IMAP items from the Remote mailbox to the Online mailbox.
IMAP Copy Results in a GroupWise Move
By default, when you move an item from one folder to another in an IMAP email client, the IMAP email client creates a copy of the item in the new location and marks the original item for deletion. The IMAP email client might display the original item with strikeout markup, to indicate that it will be deleted according to the cleanup schedule you have selected. Or the IMAP email client might hide such items until they are automatically cleaned up. When this IMAP behavior synchronizes to your GroupWise mailbox, GroupWise by default displays the original items with the strikeout markup, and you might have been manually deleting those items from your GroupWise mailbox. Select this option so that items with strikeout markup no longer display in GroupWise.
Allow Searches of Non-Indexed Attachments
By default, a client Find will search all attachments (including those which require DVA conversion). If this option is set to Enabled if POA resources are available, and then the search will only look through all attachments if the POA has al least 20% of the C/S threads available. You can also set this to be disabled if you do not want searches to be able to look through non-indexed attachments.
Enable Auto Emojis
Enabled by default, this setting also makes the auto emojis feature the default setting in the client so that users can create emojis automatically from character combinations as they type. Users can disable the setting in the client unless you lock it.
Display Greyscale Emojis (faster)
When enabled, this setting makes emojis in item lists display in greyscale as the default setting in the client. Users can disable the setting in the client unless you lock it. The default in the Administrator Console is disabled.

Allow Creation of User Defined Fields in the Personal Address Book
Select this option to allow users to create custom columns in their personal address books.
Enable Auto-Saving
By default, email addresses of those to whom users send messages are automatically added to their Frequent Contacts address books. Users can also choose to automatically save email addresses of those from whom they receive messages. Deselect this option if you do not want email addresses to be automatically saved.
-
Save Addresses of Items That Are Received: Select this option to allow users to automatically add external and internal email address from items that they receive to their Frequent Contacts address books. If desired, you can restrict users to collecting email addresses only if the user’s name or email address appears in the field, as opposed to the or fields.
-
Save Addresses of Items That Are Sent: Select this option to allow users to automatically add external and internal email address from items that they send to their Frequent Contacts address books.
Environment Options: Appearance

in the GroupWise 18 Client User Guide. -
Display QuickViewer: Displays the QuickViewer in the GroupWise client. You can select to display the QuickViewer on the right side or at the bottom.
Environment Options: Client Access
The options allow you to apply a license type (full or limited) to users’ mailboxes and enable or disable the Remote and Caching modes in the GroupWise client.
Client Licensing
GroupWise offers two types of mailbox licenses: Full Licenses and Limited Licenses.
You can use this option to specify the type of mailbox license that you want applied to users’ mailboxes. This enables you to support the type of GroupWise mailbox licenses you purchase. For example, if you only purchased Limited License mailboxes for users on a specific post office, you can mark all mailboxes on that post office as being Limited License mailboxes.
IMPORTANT:If a user accesses their mailbox using the GroupWise client, GroupWise Notify, the GroupWise Address book (addrbook.exe), or a third-party plug-in to the GroupWise client API, the are flagged as a Full License for auditing purposes even if you change them to a Limited License mailbox.
For licensing details, see Auditing Mailbox License Usage in the Post Office.
Client Login Mode
Choose from the following settings to determine which login modes are available to GroupWise users when using the GroupWise client. These settings apply only if you selected for the client licensing.
-
Allow Use of Remote Mode: Select this option to enable users to log in with GroupWise in Remote mode. With Remote mode, the GroupWise client uses a Remote mailbox on the user’s local drive. The user must initiate a connection (modem, direct, or TCP/IP) to send or retrieve items from the GroupWise system. For more information about Remote mode, see Remote Mode. By default, this option is enabled.
-
Allow Use of Caching Mode: Select this option to enable users to log in with GroupWise in Caching mode. With Caching mode, the GroupWise client uses a Caching mailbox on the user’s local drive (this can be the same mailbox as the Remote mailbox). The GroupWise client periodically initiates a connection with the GroupWise system to send and receive items. For more information about Caching mode, see Caching Mode. By default, this option is enabled.
Select the option (available only if the option is enabled) to force users to run in Caching mode. By default, this option is disabled. Specify the number of days before Caching mode is enforced. This allows the user to continue using Online mode until the grace period has passed. The grace period begins the first time the user connects to the POA. The setting applies per user per workstation.
The setting is not enforced on a workstation that does not have enough disk space for a Caching mailbox. The amount of disk space that is required is: the size of the mailbox + 20 MB + 25% of the mailbox size.
The setting is also not enforced when a user connects from a shared Windows workstation or terminal server if you configure these workstations to be excluded. You do this by setting a registry key on the Windows workstation. The registry key is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Under Software\\Micro Focus\\GroupWise\\Client, add a dword value named No Local Store with a value of 1. This prevents the user from creating a Caching or Remote mailbox by using the GroupWise client menus. However, the user can still create a Caching or Remote mailbox by using the startup options /pc, /pr, or /ps.
Environment Options: Cleanup
The options determine the delete and archive settings for GroupWise items (mail messages, phone messages, appointments, tasks, and notes).
Force Synchronization of Cleanup Options to Caching/Remote
Transfers the cleanup options you set in the GroupWise Administration Console to users’ Caching and Remote mailboxes and locks them, so that the cleanup options are performed even if users are working in their Caching or Remote mailboxes without being connected to the network.
Allow User to Protect Items from Auto Cleanup
Allows your users to set folders and items as protected. Protected folders and items are not affected by auto cleanup and auto archiving. When a folder is protected, all of the items in that folder or moved into that folder are protected. Any items moved out of the folder are no longer protected.
Mail and Phone
Choose from the following settings to determine how mail and phone messages are deleted and archived:
-
Manual Delete and Archive: Select this option to have mail and phone messages deleted or archived only when users manually do it. This is the default setting.
-
Auto-Delete After: Select this option to have GroupWise automatically delete mail and phone messages that are older than the specified number of days. If you use this option, you should notify users so they know they must archive items they want to save.
-
Auto-Archive After: Select this option to have GroupWise archive mail and phone messages that are older than the specified number of days. Users must have an archive directory specified in order for items to be archived. See Environment Options: File Location for information about setting a default archive directory location.
Appointment, Task, and Note
Choose from the following settings to determine how appointments, tasks, and notes are deleted or archived:
-
Manual Delete and Archive: Select this option to have appointments, tasks, and notes deleted or archived only when users manually do it. This is the default setting.
-
Auto-Delete After: Select this option to have GroupWise automatically delete appointments, tasks, or notes that are older than the specified number of days. If you use this option, you should notify users so they know they must archive items they want to save.
-
Auto-Archive After: Select this option to have GroupWise automatically archive appointments, tasks, and notes older than the specified number of days. Users must have an archive directory specified in order for items to be archived. See Environment Options: File Location for information about setting a default archive directory location.
Empty Trash
Deleted items are moved to the Trash folder. They can be retrieved from the Trash until it is emptied. Items in the Trash still take up disk space. Select from the following settings to determine how the Trash folder is emptied:
-
Manual: Select this option to require the user to manually empty the Trash. This is the default setting.
-
Automatic: Select this option to have GroupWise automatically empty items from the trash after they have been in it for the specified number of days.
Maintenance
-
Do Not Purge Items Until They Are Backed Up: Select this option to prevent items that have not been backed up from being removed from the Trash. This option is disabled by default.
Select the option (available only if is disabled) to prompt the user to confirm the purging of any files that have not been backed up.
-
Perform Maintenance Purges on Caching/Remote: On the tab (Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Client Options > Send > Disk Space Management) in the GroupWise Administration Console, you can limit the size of users’ Online mailboxes. You can now enforce the same mailbox size limits on users’ Caching and Remote mailboxes, wherever those mailboxes are located.
The size limit is applied to users’ Caching and Remote mailboxes regardless of the amount of available disk space on users’ hard drives. The size limit is applied the next time the GroupWise client synchronizes with users’ Online mailboxes. Because users might lose items that they have been storing locally when the size limit is enforced, you should warn users that size limits are going to be placed on their local Caching and Remote mailboxes.
Environment Options: File Location
The options determine the locations of users’ archive directories and the custom views directory.
Archive Directory
Select the directory to be used for archiving items for the GroupWise client. Each user must have his or her own archive directory. You could choose a location similar to the default location for users’ Caching mailbox, for example:
|
Windows 8: |
c:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Novell\GroupWise\archive |
|
Windows 7: |
c:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Novell\GroupWise\archive |
|
Windows XP: |
c:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Application Data\
Novell\GroupWise\archive |
It could also be a personal user directory on a network server. If you select a network drive, ensure that users have the necessary rights to access the location.
IMPORTANT:If you want to use a network location, do not specify the same directory for users in more than one post office. The names of users’ individual archive directories are based on their FIDs. FIDs are unique within a post office, but users in different post offices can have the same FID.
Custom Views
This option applies only if you are using custom views. Select the directory where the views are located. The GroupWise product does not include the capability to design custom views, but third-party products make use of this feature to support their specialized capabilities.
Environment Options: Junk Mail
The Junk Mail Handling Environment options determine the junk mail handling functionality of the GroupWise client.
Junk Mail Handling
Select to enable junk mail handling. This setting determines whether or not the Junk Mail Handling feature is available for a user. This setting affects both the client and the POA. Junk Mail Handling allows users to block or “junk” unwanted Internet email.
When this setting is disabled, the client does not display any Junk Mail Handling menus or dialog boxes, and the POA does not perform any junk mail handling for the user. When this setting is enabled, the client displays Junk Mail Handling menus and dialog boxes, and the POA performs junk mail handling if the block and junk lists are also enabled.
Enable Junk Mail Using Junk Mail Lists
Select this option to cause junking based on email addresses and domain names available to users. A user can junk email from a specific Internet email address or from an entire Internet domain, when the email addresses and Internet domains are listed in the user’s Junk List. (Initially, there are no entries in a user’s junk list.) Junked items are delivered to the Junk Mail folder in the user’s Mailbox.
When this setting is enabled or disabled and not locked, the user’s initial setting to use the Junk List is enabled or disabled. Users can change the setting. When the setting is enabled and locked, a user's Enable Junk List setting is enabled and cannot be disabled. When the setting is disabled and locked, the Junk List is unavailable to the user. Client menu options and dialog boxes involving the Junk List are not displayed.
Enable Junk Mail Using Personal Address Book
Select this option to cause junking based on personal address book entries available to users. A user can junk email from all users whose addresses are not in any personal address books (including Frequent Contacts) without building a Junk List.
When this setting is enabled or disabled and not locked, the user’s initial setting to use personal address books is enabled or disabled. Users can change the setting. When the setting is enabled and locked, a user's setting is enabled and cannot be disabled. When the setting is disabled and locked, this option is unavailable to the user.
Enable Junk Calendaring Using Personal Address Book
Select this option to make junking of calendar items based on personal address book entries available to users. A user can junk calendar items from all users whose addresses are not in any personal address books (including Frequent Contacts) without building a Junk List.
Auto-Delete After
Select this option and specify the number of days after which you want junked items to be automatically deleted from users' mailboxes. The default is 14 days.
When this setting is enabled or disabled and not locked, the user's initial setting to delete junked items is enabled or disabled. Users can change the setting. When the setting is enabled and locked, a user’s setting is enabled and cannot be disabled. When the setting is disabled and locked, this option is unavailable to the user.
Enable Blocked Mail Using Block Mail Lists
Select this option to make blocking available to users. A user can block email from an Internet email address or Internet domain, when blocked email addresses and Internet domains are listed in the user's Block List. (Initially, there are no entries in a user's Block List.) Blocked items are blocked when the POA processes delivery to the user's mailbox, and the items are never delivered to the user's mailbox. When the POA log uses verbose mode, the log displays information about blocked items.
When this setting is enabled or disabled and not locked, the user’s initial setting to use the Block List is enabled or disabled. Users can change the setting. When the setting is enabled and locked, a user's Block List setting is enabled and cannot be disabled. When the setting is disabled and locked, blocking is unavailable to the user. Client menu options and dialog boxes involving the Block List are not displayed.
Environment Options: Reply Format
In the GroupWise client, users can set the format that they want to use for replies to GroupWise items. For more information, see Setting the Default Reply Format
in the GroupWise 18 Client User Guide. The Reply Format options in the GroupWise Administration Console control which reply format options are available to users in the GroupWise client.
Plain Text Reply Format
-
GroupWise Classic: Provides separator characters, original sender, date, and time.
-

-
Plain Text (Default): Select this option to allow users to compose items in plain text.
-
HTML: Select this option to allow users to compose items in HTML.
Environment Options: Client Auto-Update
The GroupWise client includes the Client Auto-Update feature that helps you keep users’ GroupWise client software up to date. Each time the GroupWise client starts, it checks with the POA for the user’s post office to find out if new GroupWise client software is available. When new software is available and Client Auto-Update is enabled, the GroupWise client can prompt the user to install the updated software.
For complete usage instructions, see Using Client Auto-Update to Distribute the GroupWise Client Software.
Enable Client Auto-Update
Configures GroupWise so that GroupWise client software updates are automatically handled according to the Client Auto-Update settings.
The GroupWise client software can be installed along with the POA software for each post office, and the Client Auto-Update functionality is triggered at the post office level. If necessary, you can enable and configure it at the domain level so that it functions consistently across all post offices in each domain.
Auto-Update URL
(Optional) Specify the URL where the GroupWise client software can be distributed by your web server. You can use the same URL for multiple domains and post offices, or you can specify different URLs for different domains and post offices.
If Client Auto-Update is enabled but no URL is specified, the POA distributes the GroupWise client software to users’ workstations. This can be convenient in a small GroupWise system, because no web server setup is required. However, it places an additional load on the POA whenever client software updates are called for.
Force Update
Automatically updates users’ GroupWise client software without prompting users.
Users can still click Cancel to cancel the update. However, they cannot run the GroupWise client to access their mailboxes until they update the software
Grace Logins
(Conditional) If Force Update is selected, specify the number of grace logins allowed before you require the users to update their GroupWise client software
Prompt Until Updated
Causes the GroupWise client to prompt the user to update the GroupWise client software each time the client starts. The user can choose not to install the new software when prompted and still run the currently installed version of the client. However, the Client Auto-Update reminder appears the next time the user starts the client.
You can customize the Client Auto-Update settings at the user level to tailor the Client Auto-Update experience for individual users. For example, you might not want to force the software update for selected users, or perhaps you want to allow more grace logins for selected users.

-
Limited to Domain: Select this option to limit wildcard addressing to the user’s domain. This means that a user can send an item to all users in the domain by entering *.* in the item’s address field. A user can also send an item to all users on another post office in the domain by entering *.post_office_name in the item’s address field.
-
Limited to System: Select this option to limit wildcard addressing to the user’s GroupWise system. This means that a user can send an item to all users in the GroupWise system by entering *.*.* in the item’s address field. A user can also send an item to all users in another domain by entering *.domain_name or to all users in another post office by entering *.post_office_name.
-
Unlimited: Select this option to allow unlimited use of wildcard addressing. This means that a user can send an item to all users in another GroupWise system by entering *.post_office_name.domain_name or *.domain_name in the item’s address field.
Maximum Recipients Allowed
By default, users can send messages to any number of recipients. To prevent users from sending messages to very large numbers of users, perhaps using groups or wildcard addressing, specify the maximum number of recipients that a message can be sent to. If users exceed the specified maximum, they receive an error instructing them to remove recipients and try again.
Restrict Attachment Extensions
To prevent users from sending specific types of attachments, such as executables, media files, and so on, specify the file extensions that cannot be attached to messages. If users attach a restricted file type, they receive an error indicating the file type restriction, so that they can remove the attachment.

For this option to work, the Enable Delivery Confirmation option must be enabled in the GroupWise client (Tools > Options > Send Options > Mail > Enable Delivery Confirmation). This is the default setting.
Notify Recipients
Select this option to have recipients notified when they receive an item, if they are using GroupWise Notify. By default, this option is enabled.
Convert Attachments
Select this option to allow conversion of attachments in items sent to non-GroupWise email systems through a GroupWise gateway.
Allow Reply Rules to Loop
By default, GroupWise does not allow a rule-generated reply to be replied to by another rule-generated reply. This situation, referred to as looping, can quickly increase message traffic. To allow reply rules to loop, select this option.
Expiration Date
Select this option to have unopened messages expire after the specified number of days. By default, this option is disabled.
Delay Delivery
Select this option to delay the delivery of messages for the specified number of days. For example, if you specify 3 days, a message is not delivered until 3 days after the day it is sent. Messages are delivered at 12:01 a.m. of the appropriate day. By default, this option is disabled.
Priority
Select , , or as the default item priority. Priority determines which post office directory an item is placed in. This, in turn, determines how quickly items are delivered. High priority items are queued ahead of normal or low priority items.

Send Options: Disk Space Management
The options let you enforce disk space limitations for users on a post office.
User Limits
Select this option if you want to impose limits on the size of users’ mailboxes or the size of messages they can send. By default, this option is disabled, so there are no size limits. If you enable it, you can modify the following options:
-
Mailbox Size Limit: Specify the maximum amount of post office disk space available to each user for storing message and attachment files. The setting uses logical disk space because attachments are shared by all recipient users on the same post office. Messages in shared folders are counted as disk space only for the owner of the shared folder. If you do not want to limit the mailbox size, set the value to zero (0). The physical maximum size limit for a mailbox is 4 TB.
If users meet or exceed their mailbox size limits, they cannot send items until their mailboxes are under the size limit. Users can reduce the size of their mailboxes by deleting or archiving items.
-
Threshold for Warning Users: Select the mailbox capacity (as a percentage) that must be reached before the user is warned that his or her mailbox is reaching its limit. For example, if the mailbox size limit is 200 MB and the threshold is set at 75%, users receive warnings when their mailboxes reach 150 MB. Set the value to 0 or 100 if you do not want users to receive a warning.
-
Maximum Send Message Size: Specify the maximum size of a message (in kilobytes) that a user can send using the GroupWise client. If the user sends an item that exceeds this size, a message notifies the user that the item is too large to send.
You can also set message size limits at the post office level through POA configuration, at the domain level through MTA configuration, and at the GroupWise system level through GWIA configuration. For more information, see Restricting the Size of Messages That Users Can Send.
-
Limits Apply to Cache: Select this option to prevent users from sending from their Caching or Remote mailboxes when their Online mailbox exceeds the limits you have set for Online mailboxes. For more information, see Enforcing Mailbox Size Limits.
Setting this limit does not reduce the size of users’ Caching or Remote mailboxes. If you want to reduce the size of Caching or Remote mailboxes, you must enable the in > > and then run an expire/reduce operation on users’ Online mailboxes.
-
Notify the Administrator When Threshold Limit Is Exceeded: Select this option so that the domain’s notification user is notified along with the mailbox owner when the user’s mailbox exceeds the size established in the field. The domain’s notification user who receives the notification must be defined on the tab of the Domain object.
-
Notify the Administrator When Size Limit Is Exceeded: Select this option so that the domain’s notification user is notified when the user’s mailbox exceeds the size established in the field. The domain’s notification user who receives the notification must be defined on the tab of the Domain object.
For more information about notification users, see Receiving Notifications of Agent Problems.

Send Options: Security
The options apply to all GroupWise item types (mail messages, phone messages, appointments, tasks, and notes).
Conceal Subject
Select this option to conceal the item’s subject so the notification that appears on the recipient’s screen does not include the subject. The subject of the item is also concealed in the recipient’s mailbox and the sender’s Sent Items folder. It is visible only when the item is being read.
Require Password to Complete Routed Item
Select this option to require a user to enter a password before completing a routed item.
Secure Items Options
If users have installed security providers on their workstations, select the options you want them to use.
-
Do Not Allow Use of S/MIME: Select this option to disable S/MIME functionality. This disables the and buttons (and other related S/MIME functionality) in the GroupWise client. By default, this option is enabled. When it is enabled, you can modify the rest of the options in the dialog box.
-
URL for Certificate Download: Specify the Internet address of your preferred certification authority. If it is not otherwise changed in this field, the GroupWise client accesses a site that lists several common certification authorities to choose from.
-
Sign Digitally: Select this option to enable users to add a digital signature to their outgoing messages. Recipients of a digitally signed item who have S/MIME-enabled email products are able to verify that the item is actually from the sender. This setting is not a useful security measure unless you lock it as the default.
-
Encrypt for Recipients: Select this option to enable users to encrypt an outgoing item so they can ensure that the intended recipients who have an S/MIME-enabled email product are the only individuals who can read the item. This setting is not a useful security measure unless you lock it as the default.
If you enable the options, you can set the encryption algorithm and key size. The available algorithm methods (RC2, RC4, DES, 3DES) are trusted algorithms that encrypt or transform data to mask the original content. The key size sets the default size (in bits) of the encryption key that is used with the algorithm you select. These settings are not useful security measures unless you lock them.
