OK, I've been looking forward to this type of product for a long, long time.

But...after installing and pointing the connector to my Notes server, everything downloaded to a Domino Mailbox account. So far, so good.
But how come when I reply to any message in those folders it uses my non-Domino Notes account? There doesn't seem to be any way to set the from address properly?

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Pam

Ignore the previous post...I've mostly solved that issue.

Because the installation created a separate set of folders for the Notes account, they're not synching with the PPC. What should I have done differently?

I agree. I just tried this...didn't like it at first. Then I had problems deleting it (outlook wouldn't open). So rather than try to solve that problem, I think I will try it for a week or so. I would much rather just be able to get my Lotus e mail in Outlook and use my regular calendar and such. There was an option in the beginning that asked if I wanted to make my Notes stuff the default. It said that this would be my default calendar, mail, tasks and such....I checked it, but now I can't find out how to get back and deselect that option.

I'm also going to have to figure out how to delet this if I don't like it....

Control Panel -> Mail -> select "Prompt for a Profile to be used."

I just set this up and everything seems ok except I can not send anything. Incoming mail works fine and I can search and find addresses on the lotus server but I do not get a send button on a new mail message and the "send and receive" mail will not do anything that I can see. What is wrong?

To answer Ed's question, I think the answer is NO. When the connector installed, it created an additional set of folders labeled "Domino Mailbox - User Name" and replicated the folder system I had on the Notes Mail server. I subsequently ActiveSync'd and all that stuff, but...this is my theory...becausee the new set of folders don't exist as a subset of the the regular Outlook Personal Folders, they do not replicate. Of course, I tried to move the Domino Mailbox folders, but they wouldn't budge from their installed location.

While I'm disappointed in the fact that I'm not able to ActiveSync my Notes and Outlook mailboxes to my PPC, it still isn't a bad solution for single mailbox access.

Of three people trying this installation, one of us has had the connector fail to find the Notes client and create the proper access. We're not sure why yet.

Not so!

You just have to chose which inbox is your preferred inbox for new mail. You do that under E-mail properties/E-mail accounts/View or change exisiting e-mail accounts/Deliver new e-mail to the following location.
Whatever inbox you chose to have as the default inbox (including the one connected to Domino) will be the folder structure which is synchronized with Active sync.

But be warned that repeating meetings in Domino WILL mess upp your calendar in Outlook. So I dont synchronize the calendar but everyting else.

I think this is a thing that should be fixed in Activesync. You should be able to chose any fodler structure as sync folders regardless of where your default inbox is placed. Anyone at Microsoft listening?

Thanks...but I think I got it working. Now it doesn't seem to have the bugs I had before. I don't know what I did other than uninstalling it and reinstalling it a few times.

I still have not been able to Uninstall it and have Outlook work as it did before (I keep getting a 'files not found' message even after I ran a repair on Outlook)...but that is not an issue because it seems to be working well.

Now I just have to figure out how to send my personal mail while on my work VPN.

For those having trouble sending or receiving mail...try deleting the mail account then setting it up again...it worked for me.

Well I installed the notes connector and got it setup in my 2003 outlook. My problem is that I cant get my lotus mail to sinc with my ipaq. I only get the pop email account that I already had. How can i add the notes account to my PPc?

All:

Thanks for turning me on to this! I have installed it and it worked well for a day or so, but now it has three messages backed up in the outbox that I cannot remove (delete, remove, etc.). I receive a message indicating the MAPI Spooler is sending the messages and they cannot be deleted.

I must be really dense. I can find discussion of a Hotfix on Microsoft's website regarding "database locks" but cannot locate the actual link to the download. I humbly request someone take a fresh look at it and advise me of the location of the Hotfix. (http://support.microsoft.com/common/...outlook2002con

Thanks.
