With Novell® GroupWise® Mobile Server for Linux, you can synchronize e-mail messages and other personal information manager (PIM) data from your GroupWise mailbox to supported mobile devices.
GroupWise Mobile Server for Linux includes the following modules from Intellisync* Mobile Suite:
Intellisync Wireless Email with the GroupWise Connector
Intellisync Mobile Gateway
Intellisync Secure Gateway
Synchronization software for supported devices
Enhancements for GroupWise Mobile Server 3 include:
Substantially faster push of data to your device
Significantly increased battery life
Some Intellisync Mobile Suite modules are not included in GroupWise Mobile Server 3. For supported devices and module details, see the GroupWise Mobile Server 3 Getting Started Guide on the GroupWise Mobility Documentation Web site.
If the server where you are planning to install GroupWise Mobile Server has Apache* and Tomcat running on it, you must stop them before installing GroupWise Mobile Server.
The Secure Gateway Module of GroupWise Mobile Server automatically uses the same port numbers that Apache is configured with.. Initially, the Secure Gateway is installed on the same server where you perform the GroupWise Mobile Server installation, but it can be installed later on additional Linux* servers. For detailed installation instructions, see the GroupWise Mobile Server 3 Getting Started Guide and the Intellisync Mobile Suite Installation Guide on the GroupWise Mobile Server 3 Documentation Web site.
If you want to continue to run Apache and Tomcat on the same server where you are installing GroupWise Mobile Server, some post-installation reconfiguration is required. For detailed installation instructions, see the GroupWise Mobile Server 3 Getting Started Guide and the Intellisync Mobile Suite Installation Guide on the GroupWise Mobile Server 3 Documentation Web site.
