You'll need to set-up Mail to receive emails from your Groupwise account. You'll need your 'incoming mail server' info, your username (which is the email address minus the '@company.com' part) and of course the password to your email account. Your system administrator should have the info. (If they give you the outgoing mail server info then that's a bonus. It'll still work in terms of receiving emails and calendar events without that.
I still can't send out emails from Mail). Once the account is active the folders, mailboxes and cabinets you have in Groupwise will appear in Mail including the one called Calendar.
Jul 13, 2006 GroupWise does not conform to the.ics calendaring standard, instead using some type of variant. No matter how I have tried to import my iCal data, GroupWise (both v.6 and v.7) ignore the timezone settings, or the lack of timezone setting, and then shift the event either 7 or 8 hours, depending on daylight savings being in effect or not in effect. GroupWise 2014 R2 has included a GroupWise Calendar Server that allows Mac users to connect to GroupWise using CalDAV and CardDAV for calendar and contacts. This, combined with IMAP and SMTP, provides a full solution for Mac users. The following document tells you how to configure your Mac to use GroupWise.
Once someone invites you to a meeting etc. Phrase consider, free facebook icon download for mac. It'll show up in your Calendars folder like an email with a.ics attachment. Control click on it and the bottom option with be 'Add to iCal', select and your done. Small note, I can't seem to get the alarms to work to notify me.
Still a mystery to me. I hope this helps. I know this is an old subject but I thought I'd add something I recently found that might help some people doing a search. One way to get items from iCal to Groupwise is to create the appointment in iCal and then email it to yourself from within iCal.
Right-click on the event and choose mail event. Groupwise seems to automatically plug the event from the email into the calendar portion of the program. The time of the appt. Seems to be wrong but that can be easily adjusted. At least this doesn't require duplicating the effort of making the appointment in both iCal and Groupwise. I'm glad this topic is going again.
Unfortunately, the time of appointments being wrong was the real deal killer the last time through on this topic. You can batch import into GroupWise calendar - rather than having to do it on an appointment-by-appointment basis.
But, near as I can tell, GW simply ignores the time-zone settings, so everything was shifted to UTC. I tried all kinds of tweaks to the files in terms of adjusting the formatting of the file, especially the date and the name of the time zone. The only thing I'm left with is developing an Applescript that manually adjusts the time by x number of hours. That seem doable, but accounting for daylight savings was an issue. Publishing a.Mac calendar has held off some of the folks at work, but I can feel the wagons circling that this is going to become something critical for me to resolve and get my calendar into GW.
