Rules can help you sort your messages, inform others that you’re out of the office, or forward your messages to another email account.
If you create a rule in Online mode, the rule is created in Caching mode when your client connects to the GroupWise system to refresh the GroupWise address book. This connection happens at a scheduled interval, as described in Automatically Downloading Address Books to Your Mailbox. You can also initiate the connection manually by clicking Tools > Rules > Refresh while in Caching mode.
