This view is only available if the 'Discourse sequences' function is deactivated under the ' View' tab under ' View settings'.

To change back to the previous, usual view, proceed as follows:

9.4.3 Starting the Mac Client

Groupwise Email Client

At startup, the GroupWise Mac client needs to know the location (IP address/hostname and port number) of the user’s post office. There are three ways that the client can get this information:

• If the user is logged into eDirectory, the GroupWise client can read eDirectory for the post office’s location.

• If the user is not logged into eDirectory, the GroupWise client can use a GroupWise name server to get the user’s post office location.

  A GroupWise name server is a DNS hostname entry that defines the IP address of the post office’s POA. During startup, the GroupWise client automatically looks for the GroupWise name server in DNS. For information about creating a GroupWise name server, see Post Office Agent in the GroupWise 8 Administration Guide.

• The user can provide the post office location when prompted.

To start the GroupWise Mac client for the first time:

1. Click the GroupWise icon on the Mac dock.

2. Enter the password and post office address information, then click OK.
