Instant Messenger

Every ITS GroupWise account has access to the GroupWise Instant Messenger service. This requires a separate client software download. See the Instant Messenger support page for more information.

Accounts

Request an individual or department GroupWise account via the Service Catalog.

The NetID for the account must exist before it can be created in GroupWise.

Your GroupWise account has 1GB of space for the Inbox, Saved mail, Calendar, and Contact Information. You will receive alerts in GroupWise when you approach the limit. For stability and integrity, you are encouraged to use GroupWise Archives (save to your hard drive) to preserve information. While 1 GB is sufficient for most accounts, the limit can be increased when a need for more space is demonstrated.

Scheduled Resources

Resource accounts to schedule rooms, computers, or vehicles are a special type in GroupWise.
Submit this Web form to request the creation of a resource account.

Web Access

The ITS GroupWIse Web client is compatible with most current browsers and offers many of the features of the desktop clients. In addition to convenient access from anywhere on the Web, GroupWise offers an alternative for those who do not need all the features or installation footprint of a desktop client. See the ITS GroupWise Web interface here.
