GREATEST TIPS
Great tips for Notes mail
Besides our monthly new issue announcement and the chance to win a free Lost-in-Space Robot, our DominoPower magazine subscribers receive fun and useful Lotus Notes or Domino tips in their email box every week. We've received numerous requests from readers who'd like to see some of our past tips reprinted in the magazine, so that's just what we're going to do. In this collection, we'll look back at some great tips for use with your Notes mail.
Really getting into email
By Richard Echeandia, Senior Technical Editor
Anytime you're in Notes, you can immediately create a new mail message by pressing Ctrl-M (that's holding down the control key and continuing to hold it down while pressing the M key). That's it! You'll immediately be in a new, blank mail memo from your Notes mail file.
This tip works even if you're already in another Notes database. If the database that you want to open is your mail file though, there's a better way.
If you're using Lotus Notes under Windows 95, 98, or NT, you'll need to find the shortcut you use to launch Notes. Go into the Properties for the shortcut and click on the Shortcut tab. Add the word Mail to the end of the line after the Notes executable, like so:
CHANGE FROM:
C:\Notes\Notes.exe
CHANGE TO:
C:\Notes\Notes.exe Mail
|
Click on the OK button and you're done. From now on, whenever you start Notes, it will open your mail file to the last view that you were using. Why is this better than specifying your mail file as a startup database? If you switch between multiple locations, each location could have its own mail file. This method will use the mail file for whatever location you selected when you started Notes. Neat huh?
Mail routing topology
By Joe Dolittle
Here's a cool little R5 feature for visually oriented administrators. Open up the Domino Administrator. Click the Messaging tab and then the Mail tab. Scroll down the list at the left and expand Mail Routing Topology. You now have two choices: By Connections or By Named Networks.
Click either of these and you'll see a nice, graphical representation of your network's mail routing.
Ain't technology grand?
Keep the receipt
By Richard Echeandia, Senior Technical Editor
One of the best parts about working with the fine folks at DominoPower is all the email messages I get from you, our faithful readers. Ye olde mailbag has had quite a few questions and suggested tips from readers all over the world. For example, Sherndon wants to know how to read messages that may have a return receipt without letting the sender know. Our next couple of tips will teach you just this kind of skullduggery; you'll have to promise not to share it with others, though.
