Your mailboxdisplays the messages and information stored in your network mailbox (also called your OnlineMailbox). Online mode is connected to your network mailbox continuously. In Online mode, if yourPost Office Agent shuts down or you lose your network connection, you temporarily lose yourconnection to your mailbox.You should use this mode if you do not have a lot of network traffic, or if you use several differentworkstations and do not want to download a local mailbox to each one.1.3.2 Caching ModeCaching mode stores a copy of your network mailbox, including your messages and otherinformation, on your local drive. This allows you to use GroupWise whether or not your network orPost Office Agent is available. Because you are not connected to the network all the time, this modecuts down on network traffic and has the best performance. A connection is made automatically toretrieve and send new messages. All updates are performed in the background so your work is notinterrupted.To use Caching mode, the client installation must be a standard installation, not a workstationinstallation.You should use this mode if you have enough disk space on your local drive to store your mailbox.Several users can set up their Caching Mailboxes on a single shared computer.For more information about setting up Caching Mode, see Chapter 8, “Using Caching Mode,” onpage 115.1.4 Understanding Your MailboxAll of your items, whether you send or receive them, are stored in your GroupWise Mailbox.
