Title: Bloated and Unstable , but works . . .
Product review: The only reason that I can possibly see for using GroupWise is for a network that uses Novell servers exclusively. This product is bloated, takes a while to load even on a 32-bit system and crashes a lot (especially when you try to get to the calendar). It contains a messaging system -- a sort of message board that can be used adequately for an intranet, and of course, scheduler for appointments and meetings (which typically remind you of a meeting several days after it is over). As for as a regular mail client to use for Internet mail links and general use, it is just too big and too slow. The server is more powerful than that of other mail servers usually, but it seems a slick marketing tactic to require you to use a Novell server as well to take full advantages of its capabilities. Eudora, Outlook Express, Pine, Elm are all free and work just as well with any server. Pretty, but really a colossal waste of money. A pain to maintain as well.
