re: The Trouble With Trying to Access Lotus Notes Mail from MS Outlook

Yes I tend to use current applications..stepping backward to a version of Office 5 years old doesn't make much sense. The rest of my stack is Office 2007 and that's where it will remain.

And yes, DAMO is as bad as I make out. That was a real 2 day exercise with the application...no fantasy.

Ive used DAMO (Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook) quite a bit and while it is far from perfect, it is not as bad as you make out.

It sounds like you tried it on Outlook 2007, which is not currently supported. If you try it with Outlook 2003, I think you will have much more success.

Wow, only 18 short years?

Anyway, I only know what I know. I have version 8 as installed by our IT staff. By default it displayed all of my unread mail in red. I had to change that 'default'.

this is a legacy issue from Notes version 1 -- 18 years ago. In Notes 8, which shipped four months ago, the default changed to bold/black.
