Hi,

I have an old Groupwise 5.2.6 email system. I am wondering if 5.2 has the
ability to allow our salespeople that are off site to connect via pop3 via
their smartphones. If that is possible what do I need to setup, like do I
need Webaccess enabled.

Also when connecting locally with outlook express there are questions in the
setup about Server's requiring secure connections, about port and ssl certs.
Is there a guide or book that I can get to help me walkthrough this. I have
the Groupwise 5.2 Administrator's guide but is not really any help.

Where can I find out what the mail server's name is for the incoming and
outgoing mail?

Thanks for any help.

Marty

Yes I believe it supports pop3 out of the box if you have GWIA
installed. No setup otherwise.

No ssl with 5.2, so it's irrelevant.

Just create an account in outlook express and point it to your GWIA. Use
your groupwise username and password. It will just work

The public ip address of the GWIA

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the quick response. I was able to connect from my computer via
Outlook Express.

In order to connect with their smartphones from outside the office wouldn't
I need to set up some sort of web access?

Doubt it. Most phones support pop3.

Of course if you need calendars and task, you are pretty much out of
look. I'm not sure ANY sync solution supports 5.2

Especially because 5.2 came out in 1997, IIRC.

It did indeed. We finished our GW 5.2 book while I was pregnant with my now
11 year old son <g>.

I'm going to guess he weighed more. 8^)
