GroupWise is "cleaned out" each summer.  You can save your email.  Please clean out unnecessary messages before performing these steps.

Here is how to archive your email.

In GroupWise, you must first go to Tools | Options and open the Environment icon.  In this window, there is a File Location tab.  Click that.  Under the Archive Directory, click the folder icon and browse to where you want to put your old emails.

Type in a name such as "gwarchive" or some such thing on your H drive.  In the box it should look like this:  H:\gwarchive\  This will be on the server.

Click OK and it will ask you if you wish to create the folder.  Say yes.

Now you can archive your mail.  Go to your Mailbox and highlight all the messages you wish to archive.  If you clean out the junk, then just hit Ctrl-a to select them all.  Then go up to Action | Archive and your messages are saved.  You must do this for any and all folders that are not under Mailbox.  If you have created other folders, they should be under Mailbox and not at the same level.

To go back and see your old messages, Go up to File | Open Archive and there they are.  You will be able to access your archive from any machine in the building.
