Understanding Auto-Save

When you compose a new message in GroupWise WebAccess, items are automatically saved for you. This prevents the loss of any messages you are authoring if WebAccess unexpectedly shuts down. When you restart WebAccess, you have the option to recover these messages to finish composing them.

If you stop using GroupWise WebAccess for 10 seconds (the default non-use value) and have unsent messages, or if you have been actively composing messages for 60 seconds (the default continuous use value), WebAccess automatically saves your messages to your Work In Progress folder. WebAccess adds two characters to the title of all auto-saved messages to distinguish them from other items you might have manually saved to your Work In Progress folder.

When you start WebAccess and only one auto-saved message is recovered, you see the following message:
