GroupWise 6.5 New Features

Checklist Folder

Use the Checklist folder to create a task list. You can move any items (mail messages, phone messages, reminder notes, tasks or appointments) to this folder and arrange them in the order you want. Each item is marked with a check box so that you can check off items as you complete them.
	After you have moved an item to the Checklist folder, you can open it, click the Checklist tab and assign it a due date. You can also mark it completed and set its position in the list from the Checklist tab. If you want another folder to work the way the Checklist folder does, right click the folder, select Properties, click the Display tab, select Checklist from the Setting Name drop-down list. The Checklist folder is a system folder and cannot be deleted. It replaces the Task List folder. The Checklist folder contains the following items: Items you have moved to this folder Items you have created in this folder Items in other folders that you have marked Show in Checklist Items that are part of a checklist that you have created in another folder Any item type can reside in this folder. To mark an item completed, click the check box next to the item in the Item List. To set a due date, open the item > click the Checklist tab > specify a date. To set the priority of an item, drag the task to a new position in the checklist. Checklist items do not display in the Task List of the Calendar. If a checklist item is due today, the checkbox in the Checklist is green. If a checklist item is past due, the checkbox is red.
Contacts Folder
The Contacts folder is a system folder that shows, by default, all the entries in your Frequent Contacts address book. Any modification you make in the Contacts Folder will also be made in the Frequent Contacts address book. If you want the Contacts folder to display entries from a different address book, right-click the Contacts folder > click Properties > click the address book name from the Address Book drop-down list > click OK. Your proxies will never see your Contacts folder.
.	When you double-click a contact, the contact item view displays. For specific help about each field on a tab, click a field > press Shift+F1. You can view, create and modify contacts, resources, organizations and groups from this folder.
Sent Items Folder
The Sent Items folder displays all sent items from your Mailbox..
.	The Sent Items folder is a system folder and cannot be deleted. All sent items reside in this folder unless they are moved to a folder other than the Mailbox or Calendar. If a sent item is moved to another folder, it no longer displays in the Sent Items folder.
Junk Mail Handling
All e-mail items from addresses and Internet domains that are junked through Junk Mail Handling are placed in the Junk Mail folder. This folder will not be displayed in the folder list unless a Junk Mail option is enabled. To enable the Junk Mail folder, click Tools > Junk Mail Handling and check the desired options.
	Use Junk Mail Handling to decide what to do with unwanted Internet e-mail that is sent to your GroupWise e-mail address. Junk Mail Handling allows you to block or junk unwanted Internet e-mail. When you block e-mail, the e-mail address or Internet domain is added to a Block List. When you junk e-mail, the e-mail addess or Internet domain is added to a Junk List. You can also add addresses and domains directly to the Block and Junk Lists. E-mail that is junked is moved to a Junk Mail folder. E-mail that is blocked never arrives in your mailbox. Any e-mail address in the Novell GroupWise System Address Book cannot be sent to the Junk List or Blocked. It is possible, however, to block out any e-mail that is not found in any of your address books. It is wise to use caution when setting the Junk Mail Handling options or Blocking addresses. When Junk Mail options are enabled, this folder cannot be deleted. However, the folder can be renamed or moved to a different location in the folder list. If all Junk Mail options are disabled, the folder can be deleted. To delete items from the Junk Mail Folder, right-click the folder > click Empty Junk Mail Folder > Yes.
