You can assign a password to your Mailbox. GroupWise passwords are case sensitive (for example, Wednesday is not the same as WEDNESDAY). If you forget your password, you cannot access any of your items.
If your system administrator has turned on LDAP authentication, your LDAP password is used to access your Mailbox instead of a GroupWise password. With LDAP authentication, you are required to have a password and you cannot remove your password.
If your system administrator has disabled changing your LDAP password in GroupWise, you might need to use a different application to change your password. Contact your system administrator for more information.

The password does not affect your Online Mailbox at the office.
