Outlook XP Client using Groupwise 5.5

[OneKlub]

I work in a GW5.5 environment and I had Outlook 2k working just fine. I upgraded my PC to Windows XP and Outlook XP. I didn't have to re-install the Groupwise plug-in for Outlook. I can receive email, I cannot send it. I attempt to add the Groupwise Address Book to Outlook XP, but it doesn't notice it which, means I cannot send email. Can anyone assist me?

I too have a problem much like you are describing. I have a Windows 2K box, Groupwise 5.5, and OfficeXP. The problem I have is that the Address book is all grayed-out and unavailable. From everything that I have read from Novell (which is not much!) this is a known problem with a unresolved fix. It appears that the problem is with GW 5.5 and Office XP. Has anyone heard iof Novell FINALLY found a fix for this?

Outlook XP Doesn't use MAPI you will not be able to run it against a Groupwise PO revrert back to Outlook 2k or upgrade to GW 6 \ 6.5 for a better client. 6.5 nearing end of beta is looking VERY nice!

Can any of you help with getting Outlook 2k to work fine with Groupwise 5.5? I can't get the calendar scheduling to show available participant times and the contacts will not synch up.

thanks in advance
