Your user folder (indicated by your name) represents your GroupWise database. All folders in you Main Window are subfolders of your user folder.

The Mailbox displays all the items you have received, with the exception of scheduled items (appointments, tasks, and reminder notes) you have accepted or declined. Accepted scheduled items are moved to the Calendar.

The Sent Items folder displays all sent items from the Mailbox and Calendar. The Sent Items folder in versions prior to GroupWise 6.5 was a query folder, which had some differences from the current Sent Items folder.

The following is a comparison between the previous Sent Items Query folder and the current Sent Items folder.

The Calendar folder shows several calendar view options.

The Contacts folder, by default, represents the Frequent Contacts address book in the Address Book. Any modification you make in the Contacts Folder is also made in the Frequent Contacts address book.

From this folder, you can view, create and modify contacts, resources, organizations and groups.

Your proxies never see your Contacts 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 items off as you complete them.

The following is a comparison between the Checklist folder and the Task List query folder (found in previous versions of GroupWise).

Your document references are organized in the Documents folder so you can locate them easily.

The Documents folder can contain only documents. If any other type of item is moved to this folder by a GroupWise client older than version 5.5, the item is deleted.

The Cabinet contains all your personal folders. You can rearrange and nest folders by clicking Edit+Folders. You can change how the folders are sorted by right-clicking the Cabinet folder, clicking Properties, then selecting what you want to sort by.

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 is not created in the folder list unless a Junk Mail option is enabled.

While 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. The folder can also be deleted if the Junk Mail Handling feature is disabled by the system administrator.

To delete items from the Junk Mail Folder, right-click the folder, click Empty Junk Mail Folder, then click Yes.

All deleted mail and phone messages, appointments, tasks, documents, and reminder notes are stored in the Trash folder. Items in the Trash can be viewed, opened, or returned to your Mailbox before the Trash is emptied. (Emptying the Trash removes items in the Trash from the system.)

You can empty your entire Trash, or empty only selected items. Items in the Trash are automatically emptied according to the number days entered in the Cleanup tab in Environment Options, or you can empty the Trash manually. The system administrator might specify that your Trash is emptied automatically on a regular basis.

A shared folder is like any other folder in your Cabinet, except other people have access to it. You can create shared folders or share existing personal folders in your Cabinet. You choose whom to share the folder with, and what rights to grant each user. Then, users can post messages to the shared folder, drag existing items into the folder, and create discussion threads. You can’t share system folders, which include the Cabinet, Trash, and Work In Progress folders.
