When you move a GroupWise user who is also a GroupWise Mobile Server user from one POA to another POA, GroupWise Mobile Server is no longer capable of receiving updates for the moved user. To resolve the problem, remove the user from the GroupWise Mobile Server, then add the user back to the system.
Memos on a device are not synchronized with this version of the GroupWise Mobile Server.
The GroupWise Mobile Server Web PIM refers to the GroupWise System address book as the Global Address Book (GAL).
In order to use a trusted application key as an authentication source, you must first install the GroupWise Mobile Server selecting GroupWise username and password authentication. Following installation, you may switch the authentication method to trusted application.
When installing a newer build of GroupWise Mobile Server on top of an existing installation, it is possible to have duplicate authentication sources. It is suggested that both authentication sources are kept. If one is deleted and users are athenticating to that source, the users authenticating to that source, revert back to Intellisync authentication instead of GroupWise authentication. Because of this, users are no longer able to authenticate to GroupWise.
When an appointment is received in the Mailbox, the appointment does not display in the Calendar until the appointment has been accepted.
