iCal
Once you've setup your GroupWise email, you can import your GroupWise appointments into iCal.

You will not be able to add appointments to GroupWise from your iPhone using Calendar. But you can import existing GroupWise appointments into iCal and sync your iPhone calendar with iCal on your Mac. With this setup, the calendar on your iPhone and on your Mac will be the same as long as you sync them.

Sync your iPhone with iCal

*If you have trouble syncing your calendar, check that all of your events have an end date and a title and that none of your titles include foreign characters. This will prevent your calendar from syncing properly.
