I have a list of names that I need to create a Shared Mail Distribution List. Is it possible to take a list of names from Excel and import into Lotus Notes? I work for a large company, and it seems Lotus Notes is quite robust. I've only worked with Lotus notes for 2 months, and I am not all that familiar with the capabilities yet. Thank You

In my current environment there are several users with massive email archives, I would like to find an external file storage for my users, any suggestions?

Hello,

My firm uses Lotus Notes. We are looking to start a forum for Carpooling(very similar to this one) based on Lotus Notes.
Can anyone help me out??

We are looking for Independent contractors to upgrade our Lotus Notes R6 environment to Lotus Notes R8. This will be a weekend project. We have about 40 databases. Lotus notes is not used for mail so straight forward. Interested professionals pls. email me. Karthiks@sigmanet.com. Must be in Los Angeles or vicinity. Upgrade will be done onsite (not remote)

Lotus Notes is Great Software!!!

I love IBM lotus notes.

Email coming from Outlook server to Lotus notes - the company logo is saved as an attachment in the Lotus notes reply. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Hi people, my job requires me to export my composed emails from Lotus Notes into xxxxx_accepted email.doc before sending out, where xxxxx refers to a string of numbers found in the email title. Is it possible to configure Lotus Notes so that it can detect the xxxxx from the title when I click on export? Or better still, automatically export into .doc for me? This could be far-fetched, but thought I can try asking..

Thanks alot.
Thanks!

Hi guys,

I have created a message with two buttons via the hotspot option. The buttons work but if used in the reading pane does not remove the email. I need some code where the email is moved to the trash upon clicking the button.

Thanks

Anyone know of a plugin or code in order to search both current mail and things moved to Archive? That would help a lot.

Thanks Matt, your instructions worked perfectly!

The option ("Add the following names") actually is greyed out, and the default is "Do not add any names". Any idea to enable this option? Thanks...

Hi,

I need to create a distribution list, add people to it and assign an email address to this distribution list so that people outside the organization can send email to the group. The list needs to be in the GAL and visible by everyone.

I guess this probably has to be done on the Domino server? Is this correct? If so could you give me instructions/link to instructions to do this? Thanks a lot!

Hi, I have a client that HAS to have a custom icon (based on a condition) on user created folders in the mail file based on the 8.5.2 mail template. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to get a handle on the folders in the Notesoutline to do this. The only success I've had is to create a brand new outline entry and assign to the user folder - however, if the folder is nested, the folder entry is moved out of the nested hierarchy and slashes are placed in the folder name as specified in this tech note: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21220089 I don't think I can do anything about this. If I could get a handle on the dynamic outline entries in the folder structure then all would be good. If I walk through the outline using the outline and outline entry class, the user folders aren't there. It seems that the outline and outline entry class can only navigate the outline visible in designer and not what's displayed in the mail file......

Hi, I am trying to share specific emails with a colleague aprox 5000 mails. Is there an easy way to share them without allowing her access to all my emails?

Apologies if you have covered this somewhere else in your blog.

Thanks to this new xpage technology in Lotus Notes R8.5 I was able to create a full dynamic application where the client can create his own forms in the web browser, using dragging and dropping. Set dynamic workflows, dynamic rights, all in a simple user friendly environment.

The client doesn't need tech support everytime he needs a new form, or when he needs to change a small detail in one of the forms.

While all documents created by these forms are still stored in a reliable database, with reliable access possibilities, e-mail possibilities, etc.

Thanks to xpage, where java and javascript merge with old notes languages, this was quite easily possible to make.

R8.5 is the most innovative release since R4.6 and finally a real step ahead by Lotus.

My Lotus Notes Application is sending email via Microsoft Exchange server. There the link created is getting dropped. How can I maintain that

I'm looking for the old tool "DetachRemoveAndLink" but for OS X.

anyone know of it

I'm trying to perform a mail merge that includes a unique image for each one of the recipients (their personal head shot). I've been able to find the script for an agent to perform a regular mail merge but have been wildly unsuccessful in getting it to include an image.

Can anyone give me some guidance on how to do this? (if it's even possible)

Many thanks!

@Lotus Notes Client 8.5:is there any way to show the "outbox"emails;the emails that haven't been sent yet for any kind of reason such as internet connections ,...etc.

i'm a Notes user since V4.
I find very funny your website. I will be ready to shout that I love Lotus Notes if someone is able to solve my problem.
- I need to split an Archive in several ones. In this archives, I have plenty of folders, a tree of 7 levels, with about 50 folders per level. How do I delete a complete branch of the tree?
Removing a mother folder doesn't delete all the messages in the numerous subfolders from the data base... the only way I see to do it is to copy the whole archive, and select a folder, select all messages, delete, remove the folder, and do the same for the next one. And I have 7x50 times to do it. Tell me there is another way... and I will love Notes ::::;-) !!!

Wow, Lotus Notes 9.0 Beta on the MacBook Retina 15" looks awesome!! I'm so glad I checked for the Beta, 8.5.3 looked ugly on the Hi Res Screen.

Well done IBM :)

We use Lotus Notes 8.5. Our manager asked us to create a signature to place under our mails with the logo's of Twitter and Facebook. When I sent this signature to my collegues some of them have a blue border around the logo's and other don't have the blue borders. How is this possible ?

The single thing to counter all those idiots who scrap their Notes systems to replace them with outlook... (all together now) "Lotus Notes Is Not Just Email!"

Hi All,

Let me share a story of a short xPages engagement. One of our customer decided to change their intranet portal, they developed a new portal based on Tomcat. the old portal contained a Notes application also. this was developed by using the classical HTML + Notes method. The application wasn't applied the corporate portal look and feel, and it was shortcomings in functionalities. The management was thinking about to migrate the database to another platform. The IT Operations Manager was asked my help to show this application can be facelifted and integrated into the new portal by using Lotus technologies, so they can keep this app on Lotus Domino platform.
The customer request were
- cover all functions of the old application
- presenting views and document
- represent document relations (doclinks)
- quick search and full-text search
- intagration into the new intranet portal
- look and feel
- portlet compatibility
- don't touch the old database
Plus fix these issues:
- Views should keep position and search results after opening documents
- attachment download from views

I started the development with xPages of course. Created two pages, one for the Views and another for the document. On the View page I developed Quick Search, Full-text search, added some code to keep search results and view positions. Then I created a new column in the View Controls (not in the original view) which presented links to attachments in the documents. ( Attachment links were calculated by using the row variable - richtext item - embedded objects ). At the first test I saw a problem. If there were multiple attachments, view rows were getting higher. So, I changed the links to one icon which presented a dojo TooltipDialog with the list off attachments. This works better and looks great!
On the documents there were doclinks, which needed to be changed. As i was developed the UI in a different database I wasn't able to connect the document to it's xPages. Doclink are converted to URL links and they are pointing directly to the document in the other database. So, I created a workaround. I extracted the document uniqueID from the doclink object with JavaScript (NotesDoc -> RichText -> DocLink -> UniqueID) and created a button with an onClick event to open the specified document with the xPage. As there were multiple doclink, I used a repeat control.
So, this was only 3 days all together with development, testing, applying the corporate css and portlet integration.
The customer's management is now happy, the see the new design, and the application is still on Domino!

need assistance please. all i want to do is a 'webrequest' post operation to get some web data. I know in VB.net you can call a WebRequest object (which is part of System.Net). If i use in lotusscript:
Set objHTTP = CreateObject("System.Net.WebRequest"),
all i get is automation object error, any ideas please?

Hi guys, i am a novice when it comes to functionality around Lotus Notes Databases. I am currently doing a final year project around Lotus Notes Database, possible things i will be looking at is how to make the database more dynamic, i.e. integrating it with Oracle HRMS or creating some sort of link to Oracle HRMS so the two databases can collaborate information with one another, other things i may possibly look at is if its possible to produce reports from the database, these reports could show user log on etc. Is it possible if experts of Lotus Notes Database can provide me with some useful information as well as tell me where i can find some darn good articles published about Lotus Notes Database i.e. security, integration, web front ends etc etc so that i can include stuff in my literature review!

I would be very grateful.

If anyone wishes to reply to my inbox with loads of information then i would be even more so greateful.

lloveLotusNotes!
We are a small company. We don't use Lotus Notes as mail program. Instead, it it used as the main company management system (Word/pdf documents, calendar, toDo, workflow, realtime stats,billing, ...).
In 10 years we put 180.000 documents in the now 55Gb database. Never experienced a problem.
lloveLotusNotes!

Ok, so is everyone aware of this?!

I'd like to import twitter feed to a lotus database and use them as lotus notes documents in a form. Is there any way to do it?

I would like to know if there is any way to create a database with documents from RSS

I have Lotus iNotes and I am looking for an instructional video(s) to help me maximize using the features of my new email suite. As best I can tell this version doesn't have a version number after it. Can anyone suggest a website(s)?

Does this work with Lotus Notes installed on OSX Mountain Lion?

New to IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.2fp2 standard config. What's your preference of choice of step by step guides for beginners?

Hello from UKLUG 2012 in Cardiff.

IBM Notes 8.5.4/Vulcan looks very cool. New UI and very sleek.

uklug.info

We have upgraded Lotus Notes applications and server from R6/7 to R8.5.2 environment. However, we are facing a very strange problem with Mailin database.Below is the scenario for the issue:

1. R6/R7:- a. If a new mail is sent from outlook to Lotus notes 8.5.2 server then mail is getting successfully created in mailin database with out any issue.
b. If a forwarded mail is sent from outlook to Lotus notes 8.5.2 server then mail is getting successfully created in mailin database with out any issue.


2. R8:- a. If a new mail is sent from outlook to application mailin database, its getting created in Mailin database with out any issue.
b. If a mail is forwarded from out look to application mailin database, its getting created as response document with out parent document in Mailin database i.e. the document is having "$REF" field.

I am unable to find why document is creating in the Mailin database as response. I would appreciate any suggestion to overcome this issue.

I have an agent using Send Newletter Summary action. The agent appears to only show updated or new documents after it has been run once. Is there a way to get the agent to send all documents that match selection criteria regardless of whether they were updated since the agent was last run?

Do you know if there are any new themes available for lotus notes 8.5?

This is a great site!

We have an agent that is sending a newletter based on a view. The view concatenates two fields with a linefeed shows up as two lines when viewing in client, but only a single line in the newsletter. Any way to get the column showing as two lines in the newsletter?

I am currently writing a series of articles about the Lotus Notes/Domino Access Control Lists (ACL).

They are designed for the inexperienced Administrator or someone who is not a professional administrator and need to understand how the ACL system works.

Feel free to have a look and post any comments if you wish.
