Let us sing in praise of Groupwise....

To what can I compare thee??

A bucket of s&*! comes to mind, but hold!  We can do better than that....

A clunky, fault-ridden, user-unfriendly, rubbish email client with limited functionality which serves merely to frustrate, rather than to actually serve!!!

Consider: I have now twice input a LOOOONG list of addresses - which one has to glean from OTHER Groupwise lists, rather than simply typing them in as actual addresses or sucking in a list, as one can do in applications like Outlook - as a new Group under Frequent Contacts in the Groupwise Address Book...only to see the F**$$%%% thing VANISH, TWICE!!

And this because - unlike Outlook - one cannot simply paste a list of email addresses, saved as a txt file, in the address line.

I could go on: I HATE the fact that one cannot save files from messages, then delete them as attachments (to save space) - which you can do in Outlook.  I HATE the to-me-clunky archiving options.  I HATE that I cannot import the gigabyte or so of archived Outlook mail I have, without losing all subfolders.

But enough of this: I have made a heroic effort to use this cr&*%y (=cruddy, actually B-) client.  I am seriously contemplating erasing all trace of it on any of the computers I have access to.

AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

Note added in proof (of uselessness):

I have found out, quite by accident, how one can add addresses to a list - which one can create via the create via the "Address Book" -> "New" options (IF you select "Frequent Contacts" or similar), BUT cannot save contacts into.

You simply open "Groupwise Address Book" and then click and drag the addresses you find there that are relevant to your list, to your new group.  Of course, this means you have to import address lists you make via another application, or create a new contact in your Groupwise Frequent COntacts group for every single entry that is NOT in an existing Groupwise list.

Instead of importing a txt file.  Ah, well.
