Going Crazy With Lotus Notes Web Access

by David Leibowitz | December 24, 2007 | Comments: 0

A few annoyances with the Lotus Domino Web Access console, a web client they offer..I am using it for the advanced real estate (smaller fonts mean I can display more inbox mail) and because it is slightly better than their thick client. Oh, I use Microsoft's fine web browser, version 7.0.

Have fun going nuts with these inefficiencies:

Create a new subfolder process

1. Create the new subfolder
2. Screen refreshes and not a single folder is expanded...especially not the one you just created.

Drag and dropey no workey for folders
Inability to drag/move a folder to a new destination as you can in Outlook. Instead you have to delete the folder and recreate. Fun!

Click a mail and try to move it to a folder or trash

Every 1 in 5 attempts is futile as you click the item, and attempt to drag. But the page script doesn't recognize your click so instead you are either dragging air, or you do an html text select of the screen.

The only way to rectify is to click elsewhere, to "clear" it, and then try, try again.

No ability to tell how many unread mails you have

In outlook the number of unread mails is displayed in parenthesis in bold. I believe I saw this also in the Notes thick client. If you can see it on the web, I have no idea how to turn it on.
