GWSync
GWSync uses the Novell Data Synchronizer to sync your GroupWise account data to your phone or other mobile device. With GWSync, you can browse, send, and receive email, and have access to your GroupWise address book and cabinet folders as well as your calendar and appointments.
GWSync allows you to access all of your personal GroupWise account data on your mobile device. Shared folders, shared address books, and proxy functionality are not available via GWSync.
In order to use GWSync, you will first have to contact the HelpDesk and request to be added to the GWSync service, or complete a web form request.
CIT will assist with GWSync to the best of our abilities but because of the range of mobile devices available, we cannot guarantee that it will work with all devices nor can we offer feature-level support.
