Every day you communicate in a variety of ways. To accommodate these needs, GroupWise delivers
your items by using a variety of item types. Each item type is explained below.

1.7.1 Mail

A mail message is for basic correspondence, such as a memorandum or letter. See
"Receiving E-Mail," on page 44

1.7.2 Appointment

An appointment lets you invite people to and schedule resources for meetings or events. You can
schedule the date, time, and location for the meeting. You can use posted appointments to schedule
personal events such as a doctor's appointment, a reminder to make a phone call at a certain time,
and so forth. Appointments display on the Calendar. See
on page 56.

1.7.3 Task

A task lets you place a to-do item on your own or on another person's Calendar after it has been
accepted. You can schedule a due date for the task and include a priority (such as A1). Uncompleted
tasks are carried forward to the next day. See
TIP: You can also create a Tasklist that is not associated with your Calendar. In this type of Tasklist,
any item type (mail, appointment, task, reminder note, phone message) can be used.

1.7.4 Note

A note is posted on a specific date on your own or another person's Calendar. You can use notes to
remind yourself or others of deadlines, holidays, days off, and so forth. Posted notes are useful as
reminders for birthdays, vacations, paydays, and so forth. See
Notes," on page 59.

1.7.5 Phone Message

A phone message helps you inform someone of a phone call or visitor. You can include such
information as caller, phone number, company, urgency of the call, and so forth. You cannot answer
your phone from a phone message. See
