AdvanceMail and NewWave Mail Users Hewlett-Packard's personal computer messaging applications--NewWave Mail and AdvanceMail--interface to HP Desk from Hewlett-Packard Vectra personal computers, or from IBM personal computers. Users of these products may exchange messages with any other users of HP Desk--whether they are AdvanceMail users, NewWave Mail users, HP Desk users, or connected users of another vendor's electronic mail system. For example, an AdvanceMail user signs on to AdvanceMail and then downloads their messages. The AdvanceMail user does not need to sign on to HP Desk to access their mail, but they must have a HP Desk account set up. Since these users are, in practice, HP Desk users, they must be registered in the HP Desk Directory. They must know their registered user name in order to sign on to both the personal computer application and HP Desk. They also have HP Desk passwords which they can set or change within the personal computer application. Administrators have the ability to reset a password should a user forget it. Being registered HP Desk users, they may use their personal computer in terminal mode to sign on to HP Desk without running any personal computer application. These applications offer particular advantages for some HP Desk installations, such as reduced connection time. The ability to prepare and read mail on the personal computer allows work to be off-loaded from a busy HP 3000, and also helps minimize the amount of time that a remote personal computer must be connected. More information on the use of AdvanceMail and NewWave Mail is found in the appropriate application's documentation.
