opening my groupwise 6 account from work/ home where i have EARTHLINK

[smellin]

I have no idea how to do this and will be in the bed for 4 more days before I can get to go back to work.
I want to open my Earthink and the groupwise account I have at work so that I can read my current e-mails.

Please send all responses quickly and with small prayer to the Good Lord above for all that He does. We are Blessed.
Thank you for your help

Does your employer provide GroupWise "WebAccess"? This is a web-based interface to the GroupWise email server.

If so, this would be the best way to access your email. Check with the IT department at your employer to see if this feature was installed.

Ron is correct about WebAccess. If it is not installed at your employer you might inquire of the IT Dept whether they have a Citrix solution in place where they can setup an account for you with GW on the Citrix-delivered desktop. They might balk at doing this for a 4-day stint.

Of course, another (long shot) option would be if they will allow you to install the GroupWise client on your home computer and allow this traffic to pass through the corporate firewall.

Finally, the longest shot would be if they allow POP3 or IMAP access. If they do, you could use Outlook or Outlook Express from your home computer. I'd discourage this though. There are too many security risks with these programs.

These are the options. You'll need to talk with someone in your IT department to see what they will allow.

Not sure about GroupWise 6 but in our 5.2 we just enable POP3 access and then you just need to enter your servers IP address in Outlook Express (or any pop3 client) and enter login info too. Your IT department can help you with this.
