Moving Mailboxes Between Post Offices
There are two supported methods of moving:

Live Move	Live move uses TCP/IP to move from one post office to another. Faster (5 to 10 times) than a file transfer. Requires that both POAs are version 6 or later and TCP/IP functioning between the POAs. LIVE MOVE IS THE DEFAULT
File Transfer	File transfer move uses POAs and MTAs rather than a TCP/IP connection to move from one post office to another. File transfer required if moving a user to a post office that is not using a GroupWise 6 POA or if moving across a WAN link where TCP/IP might not be efficient.

Message Delivery in the Local Post Office

The user sends a message to recipients in the same post office. The access mode setting for the post office is Client/Server only.
The GroupWise client communicates with the POA by way of TCP/IP.
The POA receives the message from the GroupWise client and performs the following actions for the sender:
1. Adds the message to the message database (msgnn.db) assigned to the sender.
2. Creates a pointer in the sender's user database (userxxx.db) so the message appears in the sender's mailbox as a sent item.
3. Places attachments larger than 2 KB in the post_office\offiles\fd0-f6 subdirectory assigned to the sender and creates pointers from the message to its attachments.(For database efficiency, messages and distribution lists larger than 2 KB are also handled as attachments).The
POA also performs the following actions for the recipient:
1. Creates a pointer in each recipient's user database (userxxx.db) to the message in the message database (msgnn.db) so the new message appears in the recipient's mailbox.
2. Updates the message in the message database (msgnn.db) with a Delivered status for each recipient.
The POA communicates to the GroupWise client by way of TCP/IP that a new message has arrived.
The Notify component of the recipient's GroupWise client notifies the recipient that a new message has arrived.
Each recipient opens the message in the GroupWise client.
Each recipient's GroupWise client communicates the Opened status to the POA by way of TCP/IP.
The POA receives the Opened status from the GroupWise client and updates the message in the message database with the Opened status for each recipient who opens the message.
The POA communicates the Opened Status to the sender's GroupWise client by way of TCP/IP.
When the sender checks the sent items in his or her mailbox in the GroupWise client, the message displays a status of Delivered for each recipient (and possibly Opened as well if the recipient has opened the message).
