Anyone know if there is a way to mount Novell shares on my mac, as well as read my Groupwise mail and see calendar? The current Novell sw does not work with 10.4, nor does it handle Groupwise stuff. http://sourceforge.net/projects/evolution-osx/ doesn't work with 10.4 either.

Thanks!

Not sure on the calendar... I have to imaging the mail is accessible via IMAP. What format are the shares?

You imagine wrong. GroupWise mail is in a proprietary format and you have to use Novell's client software to access it.

As a one-time GroupWise administrator, the OP has my sympathy having to use such a pile of junk.

If your administrator has enabled it, there is a webb access available for Groupwise. I use it with Safari to check GW mail from home. It is a little slow... but works.

I was able to access GroupWise mail via Apple's Mail.app from my (former) workplace. Worked like a charm, though sometimes the Windows GroupWise client and Apple's Mail.app didn't 100% match each other in terms of mail folders and deleted mail - only a problem when I'd try to access the same mail account from a Windows client and from the Mac.
But our system admin had enabled IMAP access and set up LDAP address access via the GroupWise server, so unless your admin has done that you'll need to use the GroupWise Novell Web Access (assuming your admin has installed it).
