About the GroupWise Main Window

Your main work area in GroupWise® is called the Main Window. The basic components of the Main Window are explained below.

Toolbar

The toolbar lets you quickly accomplish common GroupWise tasks, such as opening the Address Book, sending mail messages, and finding an item.

Folder and Item List Header

The Folder and Item List header provides a drop-down list from which you can select the mode of GroupWise you want to run (Online or Caching), or select to open your archived (backup) mailbox.

The Filter icon (Filter off icon) is also on this header, giving you convenient access to predefined and custom filters.

Folder List

The Folder List at the left of the Main Window lets you organize your GroupWise items. You can create new folders to store your items in. Next to any folder (except for shared folders), the number of unread items is shown in square brackets.

Item List

The Item List on the right side of the Main Window displays your mail and phone messages, appointments, reminder notes, tasks, and document references. You can sort the Item List by clicking a column heading. To reverse the sort order, click the column heading a second time.

QuickViewer

The QuickViewer opens below the Folder and Item List. You can quickly scan items and their attachments in the QuickViewer rather than open each item in another window.
