You see, I'm an attorney and, as you know, attorneys push a lot of paper. Anyway, I downloaded mailsaver. I selected a collection location on our firm's mainframe. I attempted to save an entire folder's worth of email to that location from my cabinet in groupwise and, unfortunately, when I check to see if my emails (and related attachments) were sent to that location, they aren't there. I've done this process repeatedly and have even changed locations repeatedly, but to no avail. What do I need to do that i'm not already doing. By the way, I'm clueless when it comes to computers. So, I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong here. Please help. I've been at it for over 2 hours and have made no progress.

They create 2 partitions - for system 20GB and the rest for Data. You can not make small partition for data than disksize - 20GB. Want to split your 1500GB disk to few partitions? No way! First will be 20GB and second 1480GB and if you try to resize it - you have to reinstall WHS!!! NONSENSE!!!! Windows Home Server is sux.

You were referred to me as someone who might be doing that. I have been running Barracuda since 2004 and I had a plugin that added SPAM and NOT SPAM buttons to the GroupWise interface. It was working great until I updated the firmware on the Barracuda last weekend. I have the source code but have no clue on how to update it. Are you thinking of writing a plugin for Barracuda? I"d be interested! Thanks for your time. Matt Hi Scott,

This works for me on Ubuntu Jaunty x86_64 with the 8.0.1 client:

Install ia32 java version:
sudo aptitude install ia32-sun-java-bin

Using the novell-groupwise-client-8.0.1-88138.i586.rpm file:
unpack the rpm with:
rpm2cpio novell-groupwise-client-8.0.1-88138.i586.rpm | cpio -ivd

then move the files to where they need to go:
cd opt
sudo mv novell/ /opt/
cd ../usr/bin
sudo mv groupwise /usr/bin/
cd ../share/applications
sudo mv gwclient.desktop /usr/share/applications/

tell groupwise to use the system java:
cd /opt/novell/groupwise/client/
mv java java-orig
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre java

Then run the groupwise client as normal.
