GW Mailbox is a GroupWise email and calendar app for the iPhone and iPad. With this app you get a much better interface than Novell delivers by default through GroupWise WebAccess. This app gives you some of the enterprise features that you wouldnt get with simple POP/IMAP - like access to your Frequent Contacts and GroupWise address book.

This app is designed to work with a Novell GroupWise email server. Novell GroupWise is an email server like Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange. If you do not have access to a Novell GroupWise email account, this app will not work for you. Your IT department should be able to provide you with the URL to your companys GroupWise WebAccess server.

Notice: GW Mailbox uses GroupWise WebAccess to get your email data. If your GroupWise administrator has not made GroupWise WebAccess available to you, GW Mailbox will not work for you. We support Novell Access Manager. But if your company uses a different proxy server, then GW Mailbox will not work. GW Mailbox requires an active internet connection.

Pros and cons of GW Mailbox app for iPhone and iPad

GW Mailbox app good for

This is a great app, I just wish it would allow you to manage your calendar and tasks a little bit better and allow you to use your poxy access, but other than that I absolutely love this app.

Having used the original GWMail app I found it to be somewhat frustrating to say the least. In fact opening mail took so long I shelved the app. The newest version is very refreshing. No long waits to open mail and convenient notifications.

Alright, sometimes notifications dont come through automatically

Little ticked off about the subscription model (that everybody is going to) and that my old app purchase was no longer supported with the last iOS update. But I have no complaints about functionality - its all there.

I like the combination of mail, calendar and contacts all in one application.

Some bad moments

I was very happy with your previous GW mail app. It was expensive and slow, but it was a big improvement over the Novell alternative. Now youve switched to a subscription model and the old app that I paid $10 for is no longer available for download, let alone supported. I dont mind paying another $10 for a major version update, but the subscription model makes no sense! You are providing an app, not a service. There is no reason that I should have to continue to pay $9 every year. Ill stick with my older version thanks.

Very disappointed in this app as its more frustrating than functional. Experiencing a number of glitches loading messages due to login issues and the calendar feature wont work on my iPhone4.

The only reason I want this is for the notifications, which do not work. I do not see any point in subscribing to something that doesnt work. Which I dont see what there justification is if they are not going to fix the problems.

I only use groupwise because it is our corporate system. Possibly the worst email service out there. Painfully slow to open each email. Fails to open attachments in most formats. Too many problems to list. Just avoid this old out dated service.

Update of Oct 23 fixed most of my concerns. Much more pleased than when I wrote the following: I am still trying to work with the Calendar on my iPad Mini before giving up and working on my iPhone. But, occasionally the contents of my calendar are uploaded and I can continue on the iPad. I subscribed expecting issues as with past versions. If the problems are fixed by next years renewal time, Ill hang in. If not, count me out.

This app is awful, no notifications despite several new versions, pricey, and bad interface, other developers - listen up and make a better app!
