Automatically Archiving Your GroupWise E-mail

By Jason Gutierrez, Campus Wide Networks

Summer time is here and it the perfect time to set your GroupWise up to automatically archive your older mail. A number of people have been bit by the 180 day rule, that is to say that any messages older than 180 days are automatically deleted from the mail servers every night. If you would like to keep track of these email, then follow along with this summer time tip. In the event you cannot read HTML messages, a PDF (Adobe Acrobat) version of this document has been attached.

Step 1 - Launch GroupWise. This procedure cannot be done from the Web interface. Follow these instructions using the client application.

	.	Step 2 - Setting the Options Go to the TOOLS menu and select OPTIONS ... from the drop down menu.
Step 3 - Changing the Environment Double-click on the ENVIRONMENT icon where we will configure auto-archiving.
		Step 4 - Setting the archive location. If you have not already set the location where you want to archive you mail, do so here on the first line marked "Archive directory:".
Step 5- Auto Archive Next, click the "Cleanup" tab and change the settings to match the image to the left. You may select a different time interval depending on your needs, but remember that it must be less than 180. Take note of the automatic trash emptying feature here as well.

That's it! You're done. You may click the OK button and close the options panel.
