GroupWiseMobile

From Suhail Baloch:

If you have a smartphone (android, iPhone, windows), you can sync your WJHSD email, contacts, and calendar with your phone. By "syncing", I mean that a any changes within your email account made either on the smartphone or on your computer are reflected on the other device. For example, if I send an email using my smartphone using the activesync account, the same email will appear in my "Sent Items" folder in GroupWise.

Please keep in mind that phones from different vendors and wireless providers have different procedures on how to setup an activesync email account, so I will not go into the specific steps on how to setup the account. Nor can my department provide you with technical support in this venture. Please contact your phone vendor or wireless provider for such support. However, below is the information you will need to successfully setup the GroupWise activesync email account on your smartphone ...


 * **email address:** use the email address provided to you by the district. For example, sbaoch@wjhsd.net in my case.
 * **username:** part of the email before the @ sign. For example, sbaloch in my case.
 * **password:** current password you use to login to the network or access your email.
 * **domain:** leave this blank if you are asked for this information.
 * **server:** gwmobile.wjhsd.net
 * **SSL connection:** select "yes" or check the box if your phone asks you for this information.

After you setup your account and do a sync for the first time, you may get an option or warning to "trust provider", etc. If so, select "yes" or "ignore" and continue. Moreover, at this point you may also select what you want to sync ... mail, contacts, calendar. You may select one, some, or of these or all of these.

Please note that above setup may not work with Blackberries as they require the presence of a Blackberry Enterprise Server, which we do not have in place as it is fairly cost prohibitive.

Good luck!
