Group
Wise
started life in 1986 as a set of utilities for WordPerfect. By 1990 it
had gained LAN-based, cross-platform, Email and scheduling system.
The first Windows client appeared in 1992.
When Novell purchased the WordPerfect company in 1994 the product was
renamed Group Wise, and Net Ware services such as gateways and
management support in the form of NLMs (NetWare Loadable Modules) were
added. When the rest of Novell's office applications portfolio was sold
to Corel a year later, Group Wise was wisely retained by Novell.
By the end of 1994 GroupWise 4.1 already had the single universal mail
box, server-based rules, and centralised administration that are now
considered essential to a messaging system. By 1996 competition from
Lotus Notes and the recently released Microsoft Exchange prompted
Novell to add threaded discussion groups (shared public folders),
