2. If you are prompted to enter a GroupWise password without an option to select Remote Mailbox Path, click Cancel.

3. Select Remote Mailbox Path, then click OK.

4. When prompted to create the folder for this path, click Yes.

5. When prompted to set up an account, click OK.

Now that this account is set up, when you want to log in to the GroupWise Collaboration Client, double-click the desktop icon, make sure Remote Mailbox Path is selected (or add the /pr-path_to_remote_mailbox startup switch to the Target field in your desktop shortcut), then click OK. Click the account in the Folder List.
