Hi,
We're running BES 4.1 SP4 for Novell Groupwise. Currently the version of the GW client on the BEs is 6.5.7.
We're having some synchronisation problems at the moment (read/unread mail, etc.) and I wondered if upgrading the GW client on the BES to 7.0.3 would improve this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

what version of 6.5.7 is it

there have been several patches that put the dll's on version 6.5.7, but they aren't the same

silly numbering used by Novell :D

7.0.3 off course would put it on the latest version, do make sure you alsk patch BES to IR1 while you are at it...

I'm not convinced your problem is related to the version of the client though
although it's hard to tell, it's a rather brief problem description

Either way, the client when used in API mode, has it's limitations
like contact synch taking up to 4 hours before it triggers, it's not push

SOAP mode is supposed to be faster, but it's also rather "immature" read:stability is debatable...

BES is currently 4.1.4.32. I was advised by BT that this could be the problem. I suppose what I want to know is if it's okay to update to Groupwise client 7.0.3? Will that cause any problems?
Thanks for you help so far though.

I can tell you that 7.0.3 Build 976 works with BES 4.1.4 MR1 on SOAP. Our backend is 7.02 HP1. Supposedly 7.0.3 will work on both OAPI and SOAP. I have another BES with OAPI running 7.02 to match the backend server.

Cheers for that.
