Getting
Wise to GroupWise
By Claudia Lynch,
Benchmarks Online Editor
We publish
articles on various aspects of GroupWise, the official
mail system1 for UNT faculty
and staff members, on an almost monthly basis. Last
month, as a part of the article "News You Can
Use," we provided links to many of the articles
on GroupWise that have appeared in Benchmarks Online
in the past. This month we have expanded on that idea to
give you, we hope, what will become for you a definitive
source of helpful information on GroupWise (at least for
a little while). Please note that articles on GroupWise
5.2 are included because many features remain the same
across versions of the software.

- Making Your GroupWise Mail Immortal (October

of expiration. [There are some broken links in
