Under
Item 14: Link to
Domain, indicate the type of link you plan to set up between the new post office
and its domain.
11.2.8 Selecting the Post Office Language
The post office language determines the sort order for items in the GroupWise Address Book.
The post office defaults to the same language as its domain unless you specify otherwise. For
example, if you set the domain and post office language to English-US, the Address Book items are
sorted according to English-US sort order rules. This is true even if some users in the post office are
running non-English GroupWise clients such as German or Japanese. Their client interface and Help
files are in German or Japanese, but the Address Book sort order is according to English-US
standards. Time, date, and number formats for the non-English clients defaults to the workstation
language.

Item 5: Post Office
Language, specify the post office language.
11.2.9 Selecting the Post Office Time Zone
When a message is sent from a user in one time zone to a user in another time zone, GroupWise
adjusts the message's time so that it is correct for the recipient's time zone. For example, if a user in
New York (GMT -05:00, Eastern Time) schedules a user in Los Angeles (GMT -08:00, Pacific
Time) for a conference call at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the appointment is scheduled in the Los
Angeles user's calendar at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
The domain time zone becomes the default time zone for each post office in the domain.

Item 6: Time
Zone, specify the time zone for the new post office.
11.2.10 Selecting a Software Distribution Directory
A software distribution directory was created when your GroupWise system was initially set up. The
software distribution directory contains files that users need in order to set up the GroupWise
Windows or Cross-Platform client on their workstations. Additional software distribution directories
might have been created since that time to accommodate users in various locations.
You can select the most convenient software distribution directory for the new post office.
