FileMaker and GroupWise

[Christoph Reichenberger]

Dear Experts,

Running FileMaker 9 on a Windows 2003 Server PC
I tried to use FileMaker's E-Mail script step to send an e-mail via a  
GroupWise client.

When I search the web, I find postings that FileMaker's script step  
should be compatible
with GroupWise, but when I execute the step, nothing happens.

Does anybody have any experience with that?
Are there probably any settings, I am missing?

Any hint would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Christoph Reichenberger

It's been years since I used Groupwise but back then FileMaker could not
send an email using it. To my knowledge that hasn't changed although
checking FileMaker Help says:

To send mail, you must have an internet connection and the following
configurations.
Windows:
    - A [Mail] section in the Win.ini file.
    - Microsoft Exchange or another email applications that is MAPI
compliant installed and configured properly.

Back in the day, we used to get around lack of support for Groupwise by
composing a mailto URL instead and use the OpenURL step.
