12.2 Adding POP3 and IMAP4 Accounts to GroupWise

Before you add a POP3 or IMAP4 account to GroupWise, you need to know the type of mail server being used (POP3 or IMAP4), your account name and password, and the name of the incoming and outgoing mail servers. You can get this information from your Internet service provider (ISP) or LAN administrator. Microsoft Secure Password Authentication is supported for accessing Exchange servers and MSN accounts.

Make sure you know the type of mail server being used (POP3 or IMAP4), your account login name and password, and the name of the incoming and outgoing mail servers. Contact your Internet service provider for this information.

You can add a POP3 or IMAP4 account only if the Accounts menu is displayed. The Accounts menu is displayed if you are in Caching mode or if your administrator allows POP and IMAP or NNTP on your GroupWise system.

12.2.2 Importing POP3 and IMAP4 E-Mail
