GroupWise:  Creating Your Archive Directory


Archiving your Mailbox gives you a way to save items you want to keep and save network space.  Archived items are removed from your system Mailbox and stored in your personal archive directory (c:\groupwise\archive)

You can increase the security of e-mails/items by archiving them.  Proxy users have no access to items archived on your hard drive unless they are using your computer.

Before you can archive items, you need to create an archive directory on your hard drive.

Follow the Procedures Below to Create Your Archive Directory in GroupWise:

From Your GroupWise Client:  Main Window

Select Tools > Options.  Then double-click Environment

Select the File Location Tab

Specify the path of your archive directory in the Archive directory box.

You can use the Folder Button to select the directory.

Recommend:  c:\groupwise\archirve\

Select OK > Close

Follow the Procedures Below to Archive an Item in GroupWise:

From Your GroupWise Client:  Main Window

Select an item from the Mailbox, Calendar, or Sent Items folder that you want to Archive.

Select Actions > Move to Archive or right-click and select Move to Archive from the shortcut menu.

The item has been moved to your designated Archive Directory.

Follow the Procedures Below to Automatically Archive Data in GroupWise:

From Your GroupWise Client:  Main Window

Select Tools > Options.  Then double-click Environment

Select the Cleanup Tab

Select Auto-Archive After for the item type you want (Mail and phone and/or Appointment, task, and reminder note)

Specify the number of days after the item is delivered or completed that you want it to be archived

Select OK

Note #1:  If your system administrator has specified that items are automatically archived on a regular basis (Example:  Empty trash), you may not be able to change this option.

Note #2:  While in Archive, the archived message/item has no connection to the system post office.  This means you cannot forward or reply to a message/item.
