.

If there is a problem seeing Work In Progress (WIP) items from the GroupWise Client sync down to android devices, verify the following:

  1. From the device, try opening the folder manually. Folders aren't typically synced by default on the device. This should request a sync with Mobility. Some devices allow configuring of sync options per folder.

  2. In Mobility WebAdmin, edit the user, then Edit the Mobile Device Settings, and make sure /Drafts is selected to Sync from the Folder Section.

  3. In Mobility WebAdmin, select/edit the user, expand the Folder List and scroll to the particular device and see the /Drafts count of the Pending Items vs the Synced Items.
