How a GroupWise Name Server Helps the GroupWise Client Start
After a server has been designated as
1677 is running on that server, the GroupWise client can connect to the POA of the appropriate post
office by contacting the POA located on
client next attempts to contact the backup name server, ngwnameserver2. If no GroupWise name
server is available, the user must provide the IP address and port number of the appropriate POA in
order to start the GroupWise client in client/server mode.
Setting Up a GroupWise Name Server
1 Make sure that TCP/IP is set up and functioning on your network.
2 Know the IP address of the server you want to set up as a GroupWise name server.
3 Make sure the POA on that server uses the default TCP port of 1677.
4 If you want a backup GroupWise name server, identify the IP address of a second server where
the POA uses the default TCP port of 1677.
5 Use your tool of choice for modifying DNS.
NetWare:
Linux:
Windows:
6 Create an entry for the IP address of the first POA and give it the hostname
7 If you want a backup name server, create an entry for the IP address of the second
POA and give it the hostname
You must use the hostnames
not recognized as GroupWise name servers.
8 Save your changes.
As soon as the hostname information replicates throughout your system, GroupWise client users can
start the GroupWise client in client/server mode without specifying a TCP/IP address and port
number.

36.2.3 Supporting IMAP Clients

Internet Messaging Application Protocol (IMAP) is used by e-mail clients such as Netscape Mail,
Eudora Pro, Microsoft Outlook, and Entourage*. You can configure the POA to communicate with
IMAP-enabled e-mail clients much like the GroupWise client does.
NOTE: IMAP clients connecting to your GroupWise system from outside your firewall must
connect through the Internet Agent, as described in
Services," on page
faster access for internal IMAP clients.
1 In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the POA object, then click Properties.
2 Click GroupWise > Agent Settings to display the Agent Settings page.
