Q. How can I access GroupWise from outside the office?
If your Administrator has set it up, wherever you have access to the Internet, you have access to your GroupWise Mailbox using GroupWise WebAccess. The address we use to get to WebAccess is http://webmail.neric.org. Using any Web browser, access the URL or IP address.

To log in to GroupWise WebAccess, enter your username and password just like you would at the office using your Windows version of GroupWise > click Login. That's all there is to it.

Q. Why can't I access my GroupWise through WebAccess?
WebAccess requires that a GroupWise password be set before it will allow access. With many new accounts, GroupWise has no password.

To set up a new GroupWise password:

Click Tools, Options, Security. This opens on the Password tab where you type your password in the New Password box. Then you retype your password in the Confirm Password box and click OK, and close.

Q. How do I change my GroupWise password?

1.        In the Main Window, click Tools > Options.

2.        Double-click Security > click the Password tab.

3.        In the Old Password box, type the password you want to change.

4.        In the New Password box, type the new password.

5.        In the Confirm New Password box, type the new password again > click OK > Close
