HCL Notes

Thanks to Marcel de Hoog, i got a solution for the missing pictures in Status Updater Plugin in Lotus Notes. Add com.ibm.lconn.statusupdates/download.image.enabled=true to your plugin_customization.ini. This works on Windows and Mac OS! Haven’t tested it on Linux. via: http://marceldehoog.blogspot.com/2011/12/status-updates-and-pictures.html 

Mitch found out that FP2 for Notes 8.5.2 breaks Connections Files and Status Updater Plugins. http://www.curiousmitch.com/2011/05/notes-8-5-2-fp2-and-lotus-connections-plugins-might-not-play-nicely-together/

Today i had problems to recreate my Activities Sidebar connection after a Notes Client reinstall. Each time when i want to connect, i got the following error message: Cannot connect to the Activities Server. Either the URL is incorrect, the server is down, or a firewall may be preventing you from reaching the server. Check the URL, your firewall settings and the server status and try again.” When i use the credentials in my browser or the integrated Notes browser, i could login, so server is responding and credentials were ok. Then i had a look in my Domino person record and found out, that the shortname i used is not the first one which is configured.

There is a new interim Fix for Lotus Domino 8.5.2 FP2 to get Firefox 4 working with iNotes. Firefox 4 support availability for Lotus iNotes – By Ulrich Krause – eknori.de .

With last update vor Lotus Traveler 8.5.2.2 there came a new feature for Android devices. You can read and send encrypted mails and you can sign mails with your notes id. You can click on details in new mails, there you find the new checkboxes for encrypt or sign. Long needed feature and it works better than Lotus Companion App on iPhone, because the id password is cached for a short time. Update After some testing i wrote down some points on this new feature. First of all i asked me, why i didn’t read anything about it. I found no document on IBM, which announces encryption on Android before 8.

New feature in 8.5.2 is synchronizing of sent as an imap folder. Article describes the way to deploy and give some hints. Notes.ini setting to enable: EnableImapFolderSynch=1 http://www.dominopower.com/newsitems/00052856.html
