GroupWise 5.5.5 client to GroupWise 6.5 System?

Will a GroupWise 5.5.5 client attach to a GroupWise 6.5 server okay for a
temporary period of time? IT Staff will need time to update all of the
clients manually. Want to make sure there will be no immediate loss of
function after we upgrade GroupWise 5.5.5 to 6.5...

THANKS!

Wait a minute? How do we upgrade "clients" before "gateways"? We have to
have GWIA reinstalled and up and running right away. Or did I misunderstand?
By the way, we have just one Domain, one PO... GWIA, and over 100 clients...

THANKS!

Ok, but

a) old gwia works with 6.5
b) new gwia cannot do pop/imap with old pos

which is why the order recommended. It's fine otherwise to switch em
