5.1.4 Item List
The Item List on the right side of the Main Window displays your mail and phone messages,
appointments, reminder notes, tasks, and document references. You can sort the Item List by
clicking a column heading. To reverse the sort order, click the column heading a second time. For
information about the icons used with different items, see
“Icons Appearing Next to Items in Your
Mailbox and Calendar” on page 145 .
5.1.5 QuickViewer
The QuickViewer opens below the Folder and Item List. You can quickly scan items and their
attachments in the QuickViewer rather than open each item in another window.
5.2 Using Different GroupWise Modes
GroupWise provides two different ways to run the GroupWise client: Online mode and Caching
mode.
You might be able to run GroupWise in either mode, or your system administrator might require that
you use only a certain mode.
Most GroupWise features are available in all both GroupWise modes, with some exceptions.
Subscribing to other users’ notifications is not available in Caching mode.
5.2.1 Online Mode
When you use Online mode, you are connected to your post office on the network. Your mailbox
displays the messages and information stored in your network mailbox (also called your Online
Mailbox). Online mode is connected to your network mailbox continuously. In Online mode, if your
Post Office Agent shuts down or you lose your network connection, you temporarily lose your
connection to your mailbox.
You should use this mode if you do not have a lot of network traffic, or if you use several different
workstations and do not want to download a local mailbox to each one.
5.2.2 Caching Mode
Caching mode stores a copy of your network mailbox, including your messages and other
information, on your local drive. This allows you to use GroupWise whether or not your network or
Post Office Agent is available. Because you are not connected to the network all the time, this mode
cuts down on network traffic and has the best performance. A connection is made automatically to
retrieve and send new messages. All updates are performed in the background so your work is not
interrupted.
To use Caching mode, the client installation must be a standard installation, not a workstation
installation.
You should use this mode if you have enough disk space on your local drive to store your mailbox.
Several users can set up their Caching Mailboxes on a single shared computer.
