Sync Novell GroupWise

[brubakes]

Here is a technology preview of the new Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack solution from Novell. This will allow the current ActiveSync client technology built into most smart phones (iPhone, Android, etc) to sync to Novell GroupWise 8 and >. Your IT department can test this today in their test lab to an Android based phone and many other smart phones - see http://www.novell.com/promo/data_synchronizer.html

Thanks for the tip I will check it out. We signed up to be a beta tester of the next version of their newest mobile server, but haven't heard back.

You can set up a rule in GWise to forward your appointments to your gmail address and they post to your Google Calendar. It doesn't work both ways, however. You also get a reminder, which is a calendar icon, on your notifier. I recently became aware of this link for the i-phone and it works, however, it is not working in reverse - appointments made on my phone don't go back to GWise and it doesn't sync.
