11.2.11 Selecting a Post Office Security Level
Post office security settings affect two types of GroupWise users:
After a user sets a GroupWise password on his or her mailbox, the post office security level no
longer applies. The user is always prompted for the password unless the administrator has set certain
client options in ConsoleOne to prevent the password prompt, as described in
"Managing GroupWise Passwords," on page
In the absence of GroupWise passwords on user mailboxes, the post office security level takes
effect. By default, a new post office is created with low security. In a low security post office,
mailboxes are completely unprotected. Without a GroupWise password, any user's mailbox could be
accessed by another user who knows how to use the
By increasing the post office security level to high, you provide protection to GroupWise mailboxes
through other types of authentication. In a high security post office, you can choose between

11.2.12 Deciding if You Want to Create a Library for the New
Post Office
If you anticipate that users on this post office will require document management services, you can
create a library at the same time you create the post office. The library is created with all of the

You should appropriately configure the library immediately after it is created, before users begin to
store documents there. See
