Starting Notify without the GroupWise Main Window

If you want to start Notify without opening the GroupWise window on your desktop, use the -notify startup option when starting GroupWise. See GroupWise Startup Options for setup instructions.

When you use the -notify option, GroupWise starts in the background with an icon Notify icon on the Linux taskbar at the bottom of your screen.

  1. Right-click the Notify icon on the Linux taskbar to display the Notify menu.

    As long as the Notify icon is on the taskbar, you receive notifications, regardless of whether the GroupWise Main Window is displayed or not.

  2. Click Notification List.

    The Notification list displays unopened items. You can read and delete them in the Notification List without opening the GroupWise Main Window.

  3. When you are finished handling unopened items, click Close.

When you want to open the GroupWise Main Window:

  1. Right-click the Notify icon to display the Notify menu.

    If necessary, open the Notify window.

  2. On the Notify menu, click Read Mail.

    You can now work in your GroupWise mailbox as usual.

    When you no longer want the GroupWise Main Window on your desktop:

  3. Click File > Exit.

    The Notify icon remains on the Linux taskbar so that you continue to receive GroupWise notifications.
