Dear forum users,

I work in a company which the last year moved from a linux based POP3 account to Domino and Lotus notes, for a major mail experience. We encountered lots of problems, many of them solved, but there are some critical ones which we haven't already solved. The problems are listed below; we will appreciate every solution. I repeat, every tiny comment will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advantage for your answers,

Best regards
Andrea

1) Notes clients loses configurations. It happens that after windows automatic update lotus notes loses his configuration. After the launch of the application you have to reconfigure as if it is has just installed for the first time. Any suggestion on how to solve it?

2) Sometimes happens that many notes client receive from the internet email with attachments mentioned "xxxxx.dat", with written in the email "see attachment xxxx.pdf" (case of pdfs). Ever had this trouble?

3) Automatic return receipt. If you need, in lotus notes you have to tell the client all the times that the message needs the "return receipt". Is there a function to set for all the outgoing messages the return receipt header without human actions?

3) Do you know a template which is similar, in functions, to outlook? (ex. Message views per dates, etc)

4) Lotus email savings. Is there a method to save lotus notes emails in one format which can be opened with lotus or another mail client (ex. .msg outlook or standard .eml)?

5) HTML compatibility. It happens that html mails in notes are hard to digest. Sometimes many of them stucks lotus notes; sometimes ther the "copy and past" render of html sources (from web pages ecc. to a LN mail) is horrible and deforms all the original layout. Why?

6) Is there a way to change rapidly signature in lotus notes (not going in 30 jumps on all menus for manually selecting the signature)?

7) Is there a way to select the second email contact of a addressbook member when sending an email via lotus notes (as in outlook)?

8) Is there a way to delay email sendings, so the messages lies for some minutes in the outbox before being sent?

9) When printing an email, if the senders name are too large it happens that recipients names are "inpiped" one on each other, cutting half a page for only showing the email addresses. Do you know how to adjust the recipient's view?

10) Sometimes lotus notes tells that there isn't any "sitemap" and you need to restart Lotus Notes. Do you know why?

11) Is there a way to use word as a editor for lotus notes emails (it's more complete than the integrated one)!

Thank you!
