GroupWise at Home

Computing Services gets numerous requests from Faculty and Staff wanting to use the GroupWise software on their home computer. Although Computing Services is not sufficiently staffed to provide support for user's home computers, we offer the GroupWise software for Microsoft Windows to those users who are willing to be self supporting.

The procedure that follows will instruct you on how to install the GroupWise software on your home computer. Please be sure to read and understand the warning below. If you need further clarification before proceeding you may call the Faculty/Staff Help Desk at 552-6900. Note that the Help Desk will not be able to provide you with installation assistance or help you with problems arising from installing the GroupWise software.

If you currently use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express on your computer for other e-mail accounts, installing the GroupWise software could interfere or render unusable the Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express program(s). We recommend that you make backups of all important data and if you have Windows XP, to create a system restore point before proceeding.
