GroupWise WebAccess has a security feature which prevents other users from connecting to your e-mail account while your e-mail account is active. Your account is considered active while you are logged in or if you close your browse without logging out. When dialing up via AOL (or some other ISPs) your workstation establishes a connection to a server, called a proxy. GroupWise WebAccess verifies that the IP address of the server is consistent for all communication with your workstation. This security check prevents another workstation or a hacker from accessing your e-mail during your active session.
