Save Groupwise 8 emails to PST
Hi Experts,
We will soon be moving from groupwise to a outsourced email solution and will be using Outllok 2010/2013 client. We will have have a limited mailbox size per user compared to what we have now.
I need to save all emails from groupwise and want to give users the ability to access them as a PST file, not importing them, just accessing them when needed like an archive.
Can I export groupwise mailboxes including contacts, calendars and open them in an outlook?
Thank You

Hi ZENandEmailguy,
I followed the instruction below and received an error when checking the name, outlook can not verify your name please check server etc. On the groupwise i do notice that when you connect from the client to the server it uses a port and i do not see where i can add a port number on the outlook 2010 connection.
Thanks
You create a profile that uses "Other" Novell GroupWise and then use the IP address of the Post Office Agent. Put in the GW username and click "check names". It should check out with underlines (meaning OK).

Couldn't find any working solution for that! It seems third party tools are the only solution to exporting GroupWise mailboxes data as PST.

Thanks for all your help. I do not know why, but when i used the outlook 2003 client i could get outlook to find the user and outlook 2010 would not. So, i was able to do the PST for the user accounts using Outlook 2003.
I got involved and put their GW client (version 7.0.4) onto one of my laptops and the installed Outlook 2010. I had Outlook 2016 on the laptop but it wouldn't connect to GW very well. O-2010 worked perfectly.

Now start Outlook against GroupWise, where you're opening the GW account with O-2010.
Go through the export to PST process and sit and wait.
If you have GroupWise client archives, I used the Advansys Archive-To-Go along with PST Creator that runs a little more than $85 per user. I only needed four licenses of both as the archives for those folks had over 80,000 items each and I couldn't un-archive back into the GW system to then export to PST via Outlook.
Hope that helps...I think there is a "hire me" if you need consulting help on this. I've migrated GW to Exchange using every utility and process and do it well because I work in both email systems almost daily for more than 20 years.
