GroupWise uses the Mailbox to store all the mail messages, appointments, and other items you receive.
You can read items you receive in your Mailbox or Calendar. Your Mailbox displays a list of all of the items you have received from other users. Posted appointments, tasks, and reminder notes appear in your Calendar, not in your Mailbox.
You can open and read all types of new items in your Mailbox. However, you might want to read tasks and reminder notes in your Calendar so you can view new messages while looking at your schedule.
Phone and mail messages stay in your Mailbox until you delete them. Appointments, reminder notes, and tasks stay in your Mailbox until you accept, decline, or delete them. When you accept an appointment, reminder note, or task, it is moved to your Calendar.
All Mailbox items are marked with an icon. The icons change depending on whether or not the item has been opened. See Section 1.8, Identifying the Icons Appearing Next to Items for more information.
All unopened items in your Mailbox are bolded to help you easily identify which items and documents you have not yet read.
Messages are automatically displayed in the format in which they were sent. Messages display in your browser’s default font and size.
To read a message:
Double-click the message in the Message list to view the message in a new window.
NOTE:For security reasons, images are not displayed by default in HTML messages. To view the images, click .
You can change the view for one item only if that item is composed in HTML.
Open an item.
Click either the or button on the toolbar.
If you open an item to read it, and then decide you want to read the item later, you can mark the item read later. Marking the item read later changes the item to bold and changes the item’s icon to unopened so you know you still need to read the item.
In the Mailbox, click the item in the Item List.
Click at the top of the Item List.
If you have opened an item, marking it read later does not change the status of the item in Properties. For example, if you have opened an item, then marked the item read later, the sender of the item still sees the item status as opened in the Properties window.
In the Mailbox, click the item in the Item List.
Click t the top of the Item List.
Marking an item read changes the status of the item in Properties. For example, if you have not opened an item, but you marked the item read, the sender of the item sees the item status as opened in the Properties window.
GroupWise WebAccess can send and receive attachments with items. When you receive an attachment with an item, the list of attachments is under the subject.
