With WebAccess you can read your GroupWise mail from any computer (Mac or Windows) that has internet access and a web browser. Just direct your browser to http://gwced.ncsu.edu and enter your GroupWise login name and password. If you are using a slow internet connection, try the Simple HTML address which strips out most of the graphics and loads faster.

The first time you launch the application, enter gwced.ncsu.edu in the Address field and 1677 in the Port field.

Thunderbird or Other IMAP Mail Client

To read access your GroupWise account with Mozilla Thunderbird:

• Set the server type to IMAP
• Set the incoming server to ced2.coe.ncsu.edu
• Set the outgoing server to smtp.ncsu.edu (or your ISP's outgoing mail server if you are configuring Thunderbird on your home computer. If you are using Thunderbird on a notebook computer that you use both at home and on campus, the extension Buttons! allows you to switch back and forth between your home and the campus SMTP servers easily.)

For assistance configuring Thunderbird or other IMAP mail clients, please contact the CED Help Desk @ 5-1760.

1. In WebAccess, select Options.
2. Enter your current and new password in the appropriate fields on the Options Password page and click Save.
   

1. In GroupWise 7 select Preferences under the GroupWise menu.
2. Select Security from the navigation bar to the left.
3. Select the Password tab.
   
4. Select Change Password.
   

IMAP mail clients cannot access address books you have created in the GroupWise mail client. If you have recently switched from the GroupWise client (for Mac or for Windows) to Thunderbird (Mac or Windows), we can convert your GroupWise address books to a format recognized by Thunderbird. Email your request to our Help Desk.

While Thunderbird is not able to access GroupWise's System Address Book of all campus GroupWise users, it can be configured to perform lookups against the NCSU LDAP server which contains email addresses for all campus users. To add LDAP lookups to Thunderbird:

1. In Thunderbird go to the Tools menu and select Address Book
2. In the Address Book window go to the File menu, select New, and then LDAP Directory
3. Enter something descriptive in the Name field, like NCSU LDAP or NCSU Online Directory
4. In the Hostname field enter ldap.ncsu.edu
5. In the Base DN field enter (without any spaces) ou=people,dc=ncsu,dc=edu
6. Click OK when and close the Address Book window

To use your new address book, click the Write button in your Thunderbird tool bar to start composing a new email. In the composition window click the Contacts button in the tool bar. In the Contacts bar that appears go to the Address Book pull-down menu and select the LDAP directory you created above. Type in a name in the Search For field. When you find the person you're looking for, just double-click his/her name.
