Additional Information
Notes:
Even though a valid directory has been entered in ConsoleOne for all the users to Archive mail, the GroupWise client looks for the sub-directory ofxxxarc that is created the first time a user actually archives the mail or when the user opens the Archive. If the directory is missing, then the auto-archive fails. If the user selects File | Open Archive or manually archives a mail message, then Auto-archiving will find this directory and work fine.
