Groupwise Tips

Set your Notify preferences in GroupWise

Receiving the message "Enter the path to your post office"

Try inputting the path to the post office as g:\poadmin.   If this doesn't work, your computer is probably not logged into the campus network. Try restarting your computer and re-entering your network login name and password..

If this does not correct the problem, call the OIT Helpdesk at extension 3223 and report the problem.
