HOW TO FORWARD YOUR GROUPWISE MAIL
TO YOUR HOME E-MAIL ADDRESS

Now that all staff members communicate via Groupwise Mail, you may be wondering how to keep track of your Groupwise messages during the summer break. Here’s how you can set up Groupwise to forward a copy of your messages to your home e-mail address. 

1. Open Groupwise.
2. Click on Tools.
3. Click on Rules.
4. Click on New.
5. The New Rule box will appear. At the top is a field called Rule Name. Give your new rule a name like “Forward Mail.”
6. Below that is a button called New Item. To the right of the button, make sure Received is checked.
7. Next is the Item Types list. Check the box for Mail.
8. Below that is another button labeled Add Action. Click on that and a menu will appear. One of the options is Forward. Click on Forward.
9. A box will appear. Make sure all the fields are blank, except for the “To” field. In the “To” space enter your home e-mail address. Now put the cursor in one of the other boxes (click on the message box, for example -- or just hit the Tab button to move the cursor). Click OK. Click Save. 

What you’ve done is set up a Groupwise rule that tells the program to forward your Groupwise Mail to another e-mail address. Groupwise will place a copy of the message in your Groupwise mailbox (as always) and forward a copy of the message to your home e-mail.

Now that the rule is set up, when you click on Rules in the future you’ll see the rule displayed. You will also note that the rule can be disabled and enabled, so from now on you can have your Groupwise mail forwarded at any time (like during Christmas break). When you want to “turn off” the forwarding, just disable the rule until the next time you want to activate the feature.

 Note: Please check with a member of the Tech Staff before changing any of the other standard rule settings. Some rules cause problems. For example, the "Reply to all" option will create a flood of reply mail into your box. No one needs that to happen.
