GroupWise 8

It's the GroupWise that thinks and works like you do.


Windows

Web 2.0 tools
Bring Web 2.0 tools right into your GroupWise Home View. Create customized dashboards and easily access the tools and information that help you be your most productive in any role. RSS feeds, favorite blogs or Web sites, team workspaces or other frequently used Web applications—you can have them all right in front of you in a nearly unlimited number of interactive panels. More +
Calendars you can share
Publish and subscribe your calendar. Subscribe to external calendars and overlay your work schedule with important holidays, your favorite sporting events or anything else you need to keep on your radar, and then get live updates to stay current. You can also publish your own calendar so colleagues outside your organization can busy search your schedule and easily set appointments. More +
Easy task management
Track your progress and priorities with intuitive task management. Prioritize tasks, see how close they are to completion, add subtasks and keep it all in front of you in a task panel in your Home View dashboard. More +
Contacts that come alive
Turn your contacts into relationships. With a look and feel that brings your contacts alive, you'll see a person, not just a name. A new card format lets you enhance contacts with photos and information such as profession, published calendar link, birthdays, family members' names and more. More +
Discussions in context
Know the history on a discussion with a single click. GroupWise 8 allows you to sort and view e-mails within a discussion thread. You can also open an e-mail and see the complete thread history with one click—no more responding to an issue that's already been solved or searching through your inbox and sent folders to piece together a discussion. More +
Formatting bells and whistles
Format your e-mails with your favorite document editor. Compose e-mail in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Writer so others see your e-mails the way you intend. More +
Auto save work in progress
Find one less thing to curse when your computer crashes. Auto save is here! Finally, you can rest easy knowing that any work you do in GroupWise will automatically save when your computer freezes. More +
Simple vacation rules
Start your vacation sooner. A simplified vacation rule gives you a no-hassle way to set up an auto-reply that tells others you are out of the office. With start and end options, you don't have to worry about turning off the vacation reply once you return. More +

Linux/Mac

More like Windows
Enjoy a Linux and Mac interface that's more like the one Windows users have. You have wanted to use a GroupWise client that looks and acts more like its Windows counterpart. Now you can! Customize personal dashboards to bring to center stage all the tools that help you be most productive for any aspect of your job. More +
Multiple calendars
Bring together multiple calendars. Import external calendars and overlay your work schedule with important holidays, your favorite sporting events or anything else you need to keep on your radar. Color-code appointments to help you keep track of professional and personal commitments. More +
Consolidated e-mail accounts
Gather together all your e-mail accounts. Interact with your external e-mail accounts (such as Gmail, Yahoo, or any POP, IMAP or NNTP accounts) within GroupWise. Organize them into folders and even place them in your Home View. More +
Your inbox the way you like it
Organize your inbox. Sort your e-mails to fit the way you work best. You can organize messages by fields such as date, subject, sender and more. Display your inbox to include a sneak peak at the first line of each message, see discussion threads or show entire message previews. More +
Enhanced searching
Find things like never before. Now you can search for e-mails, appointments and contacts with a "Quick Find" feature. GroupWise 8 features greatly enhanced search features, and Filter has been replaced with Find on the toolbar. Now you can search across all folders, libraries and item type. More +
Notifications
Get the notifications you need. Receive alerts for appointments and e-mails. Set notifications so you can get to meetings on time and receive return status on e-mails and appointments you send out. More +
Auto save work in progress
Find one less thing to curse when your computer crashes. Auto Save is here! Finally, you can rest easy knowing that any work you do in GroupWise will automatically be saved when your computer freezes. More +
Categorize your items
Tag e-mails and appointments. Add standard or customized categories to e-mails and appointments so you can pay attention to what's urgent, remember to follow up on a request or simply read an item later. More +

Web Access

All your e-mails in one screen
View all of your e-mails in one list. Now you can see all your messages in one, scrollable list, which means no more clicking on "Next 20" to see additional e-mails. You can also resize and reorder columns to suit your needs. More +
Color-coded calendars
See your calendar come to life. With an improved graphical interface, you can color code appointments to easily keep track of professional and personal commitments. You can also drag and drop meetings to their new times as your schedule changes. More +
Calendars you can share
Get the calendar performance you need. Publish your calendar—even outside your corporate network—so others can busy search your schedule and set appointments. And now you can adjust your time zone to keep track no matter where you are; no more missing meetings because of mixing up local time with what's reflected on your calendar. More +
Contacts that come alive
Enjoy improved contact management. With dynamic filter and search capabilities, you can be more productive online working with contacts. With contact "quick viewer" you can quickly search through all of your contacts. You can also check e-mail history for any contact and receive birthday and anniversary notifications. More +

Faster access
Get to your inbox faster. Typically when you log in to your Web e-mail, you have to wait until your address books load in order to use your inbox. Now you don't have to wait; your e-mails and appointments are automatically loaded when you login. More +
Improved calendar printing
Print your daily calendar. Now you can print a clean and organized view of your calendar that you can take with you when you are not in front of your computer. More +
