Is it possible to add a Lotus Notes account to Mail?

My company uses Lotus Notes. I hate it. I want to access my Lotus Notes e-mail through the Mail app, but can't figure out what the servers are and they won't tell me. First of all, is it even possible to set up Mail with a Lotus Notes account? Second, how do you find the right (IN/OUT) server addresses in Lotus?

Hi There, My company uses Lotus notes, and I use apple mail, yes lotus notes is not the best in email programs, but it is stable. However, I enjoy using mail (set to IMAP - Notes server has IMAP your IT dept will know this), set your account up as IMAP, and even if you switch back to notes, your emails will be safe.... HOWEVER: BEWARE: CAUTION: Even though Apple Mail is just great program to use on your mac, it is not a good IMAP program, many bugs.. I your sent messages get stored in "sent messages' folder, not in the 'sent' folder, my brother finds that Apple Mail sometimes causes emails to get bounced back.. for no reason... today a customer told me she only got half the email, when apple mails sent messages said it sent the whole email.. I checked this by going to our server and seeing what got sent.
I am investigating ways to fix this.. ill keep you updated if you want.

  • How do I add a Lotus Notes account to Entourage?

    Hi there,
    Our company uses Lotus Notes for email, and we recently got Lotus Notes Traveler set up on our iOS devices for email access via iPad/iPhones through Mail.
    I'd like to know if it's possible to set up access to my Lotus Notes account through Entourage 2008. I'm guessing that it uses either IMAP or Exchange, but I haven't been able to find the right combination of settings to make it works. Before I spend too much time on this, I'd first like to know if it's even possible.
    If it is, how would I go about doing it? My series of questions below:
    1. How do I find out whether it's IMAP or Exchange? Please note that I CANNOT ask my administrator about anything in this message, so that is not an option.
    2. Do I have to be on my company's domain to make this work? My Mac Lotus Notes client works fine and I'm currently not on the domain.
    3. In the settings on my iPad (screenshot below - actual server names removed for obvious reasons), it says "Exchange Account" at the top, the under Server is lists "server.company.com/servlet/traveler and under Email is lists : "Firstname [email protected]/servlet/traveler" (space included on the name). Are these settings of any use in Entourage? Seems odd to me that the "Email" field isn't actually my email address (which is [email protected]).
    4. If the settings ARE of use in Entourage, where would I insert them?
    Any help or insight on this would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    It could potentially be a glitch with the servers when you have tried adding it. Although it may seem a silly suggestion have you done a battery pull (remove battery, wait 30 seconds and reinsert) - this may clear the problem.
    A security wipe of the phone may also work but ensure you do a backup before hand. Otherwise a call to your mobile carrier to see if they can assist might be worth a try.

  • Is it possible to add a new note on stickies.app by terminal/unix shell scripts ?

    is it possible to add a new note on stickies.app by terminal/unix shell scripts ?

    1. If i uninstall GNU Classpath, Does it cause system not to work properly? Not in my experience. I have encountered dozens of cases where it cured problems like this immediately. Alternatively adjust your PATH so that it finds the JDK before it finds GNU CLASSPATH.
    (Now i am using that java on my server with a certificate , I dont want to risk the system. )GNU CLASSPATH is the risk here.
    2. I have searched about your advice, this link tells classpath causes: "certificate insert problems"
    http://builder.classpath.org/japi/jdk15-classpath.html is this what you mean ?
    I can't find that statement on that page, but it does show compliance problems of up to 20% in the security area (and *40%* in LDAP, the area I'm working in at the moment).
    Basically GNU CLASSPATH is not Java and cannot be expected to behave like it. In this case it doesn't even understand the format of a Java keystore. QED.
    Note that they don't call it 'Java', because it isn't. I quote:
    GNU Classpath 1.0 will be fully compatible with the 1.1 and 1.2 API specifications, in addition to having significant (>95%) compatability with the 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 APIs.In other words they haven't even finished JDK 1.1 yet, let alone all the other stuff. At the present rate of progress they never will. That statement is the latest, it is dated 7 July 2009, and the latest actual software is dated 5 February 2009. And there is clearly no intention of ever submitting it to the Java Compatibility Tests as real Java implementors do.
    3. How can i uninstall GNU Class Path without causing any problems to my working server?No idea, can't help you. Ask a Liinux expert.
    4. Is there any way to add the certificate without removing GNU CLASSPATH ?Yes, see above, but I still strongly recommend removal.

  • How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

    How come, when I add myYahoo! email account to MAIL, after verifying, I always get the "server unavailable. please try again later"

    THANKS! this worked !!!
    I hit "DELETE THIS ACCOUNT" on my iphone (this is the Yahoo I tried to set up by "picking" it from the list that the iphone5 gives you) and then confirmed to delete everything.
    THEN: while in Mail (still in the Settings Section) I tapped on "ADD ACCOUNT..." but this time tapped on "OTHER" and manually put in my yahoo ID and password and I did not even have to go to the   SMTP or IMAP incomming/outgoing stuff at all. But I checked it out under the "ADVANCE" tab and it was already correct for yahoo. (ALMOST SEEMED TOO EASY)
    Went to my home screen and tapped on MAIL and my yahoo email loaded up just right!
    Now, I have no idea if I have any other issues like if I delete mail on the iphone; does it delete properly on my ipad...etc..etc. but one problem at a time is getting fixed. THANKS!

  • Can't send PDF as a mail attachment from iPad to a Lotus Notes account

    Hello, I have some problems sending PDF documents as email attachments from my iPad. Using the adobe reader app for iOS, I create an email with the file attached. Sending this to e.g. a hotmail account works fine. However, if I send it to any address at my company, where Lotus Notes is the standard, the attachment seems to be converted into a text file. Is this a known issue with the reader for iPad, or should I rather be looking to IT support at my company for help?

    Download QuickOffice, which Google is now making available for free:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/quickoffice-inc./id294258240?mt=8
    You can open the XLS attachment in that app, then transfer the document to your Mac via the USB cable. You can then print from the Mac.
    Printing from your iPad doesn't work via Bluetooth either, by the way.
    Regards.

  • Naming convention for Lotus Notes folders in Mail adapter

    Hi,
    I am trying to configure a sender Mail adapter to pull messages from Lotus Notes then move the email to a 'processed' folder in Lotus Notes.
    Retrieving the email work fine (I am using IMAP) however when it tries to move the email to the processed folder, it says 'Mailbox does not exist', no matter what I specify in the input field for 'Folder for deleted messages'
    Could somone please tell me what the syntax is to specify a folder called 'processed' that I have created under the Folders branch in Lotus Notes?
    thanks for any help,
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    I don't think the Mail adapter would be a nice choice for you to complete your scenario. First of all, the Lotus Notes is a document-oriented database. The mail adapter or JDBC adapter can not communicate with the Lots Notes database efficiently. Or you will have a lot of problems to handle the Notes views, folders, fields, just like your question here.
    If you have a lot of integration scenarios with the Lotus Notes, maybe the following information could be interesting for you: http://www.conetweaversuite.com. We have built a specific adapter for the Lotus Notes.
    BTW: If you open the email database in the Notes Designer, you can find out the alias name for your u201Cprocessedu201D folder. Maybe you should enter this name in the mail adapter. 
    Best regards

  • I need help redirecting Lotus Notes account to Apple Mail

    I'm totally at a loss. I've done it with my gmail account, but I'd like to not have to deal with the terrible, terrible Lotus Notes application (not to mention that it takes up a ridiculous amount of CPU).
    Can anyone help me POP or whatever my Lotus Notes email to my Apple Mail? I'm not that tech-savvy, so I'm not sure what details I need to provide straight away. If you have any insights, they'd be greatly appreciated!

    iCloud will only deliver mail from your iCloud account.  What you can do is set up email forwarding with your other accounts to forward incoming email to your iCloud address, then tell all your contacts to send email to your iCloud address.  (Comcast accounts are POP3 rather than IMAP so you won't miss these accounts.  I set up forwarding from Comcast to iCloud a long time ago.)

  • Can i receive email from my work lotus notes account with out installing lotus notes

    Hi
    Can i receive my work email to my mac with out installing lotus notes on it

    A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
    However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
    So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
    Any help appreciated.

  • How to add an additional email account in Mail?

    Hi,
    I set up my main 'Hotmail' email address in 'Mail' about a year ago but have never used the Mail App since. I now have a 2nd email address (university) and it is hosted through 'Exchange Labs' which is basically Hotmail/MSN I think. I cannot check my emails in each one without logging out and logging in whilst openinging and closing several web pages which is a nuisance.
    I was told I could link these 2 accounts in Mail and would make life easier. However, I went to add an additional account and it's asking me for the server info - (mail.server.com) which I have no idea what Exchange Labs use. I looked at my settings for my Hotmail address and when I was setting it up I used my 'izymail' subscription to make it work. However when I go into Mail, it shows no new emails, or any of my old ones. I think i'll have to play around with it for a few hours before I figure out what's wrong but can anyone offer any advice?
    How to link an 'Exchange Lab' email account or make sure my existing hotmail account is still linked properly?
    Thanks in advance!

    Unless Hotmail is required under EU law to provide their full service free of charge, you'd have to have a paid Hotmail account to be able to send and receive email with Mail.
    As for the Exchange Labs, that's something your university is doing, so you'd need to call their student computing helpdesk for the settings to enter in Mail to setup your account for that. You can't link these two accounts, but you can have Mail send and receive messages through both accounts individually, assuming you meet the requirements and have them setup properly. It's not hard, you just need to get the necessary info from your university IT department, as well as have POP access to your Hotmail account, which they do charge for in the U.S.

  • Possible to have two separate iCloud accounts in MAIL?

    I have successfully added my spouse's new iCloud account in the Mail app on my family's shared iMac OSX10.7.5, but Mail Prefs won't allow me to change his account's nickname, which is currently iCloud. My iCloud account is the primary account on this iMac. Thanks.

    How do you do it, basically I have an iPad but family member has one which needs to be set up and added to iTunes but we do not want the same apps and stuff on the iPads. How do I create a separate accounts for me and them, I already have mine with my stuff, will it interfere with it ?

  • Is it possible to sort the order of accounts in Mail?

    I have many email accounts, and when they're synced to my iPhone, they show up in a seemingly random order (not alphabetical, by type, etc).
    Is there any way to sort email accounts on the main Mail screen in a custom order (or simply alphabetically)?
    Thanks!

    There is not. You'd have to delete them and readd them in the order you want.

  • Intergate Lotus Notes with SAP

    Dear All,
    I had do mail configuration in SAP and its working.
    But i want to import all my Lotus Notes contact in SAP. is it possible? How?
    OR can I Intergate Lotus  mailing system with SAP?
    Regards,
    Nisit

    Nisith,
    The approaches that are currently available to integrate SAP R/3 and Lotus Notes are:
    Lotus Connectors:
    Lotus Connectors are system files that are developed using common object model interface, known as Lotus Connector API. They provide optimized access to the enterprise data from Domino. These connectors are installed on the Web Application Server platform of SAP and are used to connect to and to transfer data from the enterprise servers and other enterprise platforms. This Lotus Connector, when used with enterprise integration tools, facilitates to integrate SAP application logic with Domino applications. The Connector was developed using SAP's Remote Function Call Software Development Kit (RFCSDK) and enables execution of any SAP Remote Function Call (RFC) that is remotely callable, all BAPIs and Transactions using Batch Data Input. Using the Lotus Connector for SAP technology ensures that data transfers and queries are processed through the SAP application layer, preserving the business logic and data validations contained in SAP Remote Function Call and transaction interfaces, which comprised of SAP processes. Therefore, reading and writing SAP data is always performed through the application layer and not by directly accessing back-end database tables and by using Lotus Connectors all the business rules provided by RFCu2019s and SAP Transactions are maintained.
    Domino Mail Transfer Agent for R/3:
    A server-based add-ins, Domino MTA is used in bi-directional message transfer amid SAP R/3 and Notes, which leads to the transformation of Dominou2019s inbox into a universal inbox for both Domino and SAP. This tool is used to send messages to and from SAP R/3 to notes. It enables the users to send or receive mails, faxes and also disseminate the data from R/3 system to the notes mailbox. Hence, the users are required to check a common interface for reading the messages from both SAP R/3 and Lotus Notes. The Mail transfer Agent along with providing full attachment support provides users with the rich text support, facilitating R/3 mail users using any other application like Microsoft word as their e-mail editors. In addition, R/3 MTA provides all the transactional support that is required by the users. The users to make sure that the data being transferred from R/3 is properly routed to Domino can also use this support. MTA even enables the users to keep a track of all the messages that are sent or received from R/3 by tracking them in a Notes log file. As mentioned above, the Domino MTA uses add-ins. These add-ins are object client to send mail from Domino to R/3 and object server to receive mail from R/3.
    Lotus Enterprise Integrators (LEI):
    This tool is used to transfer the data both ways between SAP R/3 and Domino applications. LEI are the quickest way to ensure transfer of data and that too without following the tedious task of writing long lines of codes. Also, it facilitates this transfer by taking one end as a source and the other as a target. In this, the data transfer of each type utilizes a different connector such as Oracle connector and Notes connector. These connectors are used in both LEI and Domino Enterprise Connectivity Services (DECS) to ensure bi-directional access of notes and web applications of R/3 data from a Domino server.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Since downloading Firefox 4, I am unable to open attachments in my Lotus notes e-mail account, but not if I open Lotus notes via Internet Explorer.

    I recently downloaded the latest version of Firefox (I have been using older versions for the last two years). However, when using my Lotus Notes e-mail account (through the University of Dayton), I immediately was unable to open e-mail attachments (both new e-mails and older, saved e-mails with attachments that had previously been opened. The word "attachment" appears at the end of the message (in light grey), but does not respond to the cursor. I have delayed working on this problem, because if I open Internet Explorer instead of Firefox, my Lotus Notes account will allow me to view new and past attachments. It seems that the new Firefox has changed some security setting that does not relay attachments with my incoming or stored e-mails. Suggestions--or should I continue to just always open with Internet Explorer?

    Maybe the "Remote XUL Manager" add-on mentioned in these threads will help?
