Planning Your Post Office - Novell GROUPWISE 7 Installation Manual

Some GroupWise administrative functions can only be done while in the GroupWise View. This
includes such tasks as defining users from other GroupWise systems so that they appear in your
system's Address Book.
Domain Language
The domain language determines the sort order for items in the GroupWise Address Book.
BASIC GROUPWISE SYSTEM WORKSHEET
Under Item 10: Domain Language, specify the language for the domain. The domain language becomes
the default language for the domain's post offices.
For more information, see
Administration Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw7).
Domain 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 post office contains users' mailboxes. Like a domain, a post office requires a name, has a
directory structure and an eDirectory object, and can be configured to support different languages
and time zones. The following sections prepare you to supply the Setup Advisor with the required
information.

Post Office Name
The post office, like the domain, requires a unique name. The name is used as the Post Office
object's name in eDirectory. It is also used for addressing and routing purposes within GroupWise,
and can appear in the GroupWise Address Book. The post office name can reflect any element that
