Groupwise 6.5 Is it worth upgrading?

[jordonj]

I am trying to find information about GroupWise 6.5. Is there anyone out there using it? Is it worth upgrading rom 6.0, or is it better to wait?

the backup and restores are better
the spamming seems desired my people
better esmtp support if needed

the upgrade is quick and you can do it on the fly no probs
the client has been through a major revamp

End user conversion from Groupwise 6 to 6.5 is pretty straight forward. No advance training is needed for end user to begin using Groupwise 6.5. Another nice feature of 6.5 is you can color code emails to indicate priority of an email ( i.e. blue for followup, red for urgent, etc...). There is also a checklist spot that allows you to move emails to that section and assign a due date on the email. Many in my office have so many projects going on that my early adopters feel this new feature is great.

Also as the folks above indicated, the junk mail handling is a big plus to everyone. I would say upgrade, you won't regret it.

Be sure to deploy the SP client if you use Document Managment. I had some issues that were corrected with the SP1 update.
