GroupWise from Home

GroupWise from home requires establishing an Internet connection via your Internet Service Provider (ISP). GroupWise can be used from home via two different methods. One option is to use GroupWise WebAccess via Internet Explorer or Firefox. This will provide a secure web interface to your GroupWise mailbox. The WebAccess option will work differently from the GroupWise software used on campus but is not hard to learn. The second option is to install the GroupWise client software on your home computer from CDROM.

GroupWise WebAccess

To use the GroupWise WebAccess, connect to your ISP as usual and then use the following URL address in the web browser: https://mymail.messiah.edu. Don't forget the "s" in https. This is needed to tell the web browser that this is a secure encrypted connection.
