Situation

Can Restore Area Management access an older message store?

GroupWise 6.5 Post Office accessing a restored copy that is version 5.5 EP or earlier through Restore Area Management.
GroupWise 7.0.x Post Office accessing a restored copy that is version 6.5.x through Restore Area Management.

Resolution

This indeed works. This was tested with a 6.5.4 Post Office, accessing a 5.5.x Post Office Restore Area. It was also tested with a 7.0.2 Post Office accessing a 6.5.6 Post Office Restore Area. The restore features worked without any special configurations.
