Lotus Notes Main Setup Instructions
Connecting to an Internet server
If you have mail on an Internet server, such as the server of an Internet Service Provider (ISP), that uses the Post Office Protocol (POP) or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), you can use Notes to read your Internet mail. You do this by creating a POP or IMAP account.
To send e-mail to an Internet server, you need to create a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) account.
Additionally, to read Usenet newsgroups, Notes makes it easy for you to set up an account to connect to newsgroup servers.
Supported connections
You can connect to Internet mail by using a local area network (LAN), Dial-Up Networking, or your own dialing program. To connect to the Internet over a LAN from inside a firewall, you will need to use an Internet gateway or an Internet mail server that is on the LAN.
Step 1: What you need before starting
Step 2: Create an Internet account
Step 3: Create or edit a location document
Step 1: What you need before starting
Before you can send and receive Internet mail, you need some information usually provided by your ISP:
Phone number to connect to your ISP (if access is through modem).
Domain name of your ISP (myisp.com, for example).
For POP mail, a POP account server name (pop.myisp.com, for example).
For SMTP mail, an SMTP account server name (smtp.myisp.com, for example).
For IMAP mail, an IMAP account server name (imap.myisp.com, for example).
For Usenet newsgroups, an account server name (news.myisp.com).
User name assigned by your ISP.
Password assigned by your ISP.
Step 2: Create an Internet account
The following steps describe how to set up an Internet account for POP3, SMTP, IMAP mail, or newsgroups. To create an LDAP account, see Creating an account to search Internet directories.
1. Click the Address Book bookmark on the bookmark bar
2. Choose Create - Account.
3. Enter an account name (for example, POP mail) in the Account name field. You can use any name as long as the name is not used by another account and does not contain these characters: "\ / : ; + = " | ? < > [ ] { }()"
4. Enter the name of the server in the "Account server name" field. For example, "pop.myisp.com."
5. Enter the account login name and password in the Login name and Password fields. POP and IMAP servers almost always require your login name and password. SMTP and newsgroup servers usually do not.
6. Select the protocol by clicking the down arrow in the Protocol field.
Protocol Description
POP3 Recieves mail from the Internet server using POP3.
SMTP Sends mail to the Internet server.
IMAP Offline Receive mail from the Internet server using IMAP. Copies mail messages from the Inbox on the server and stores them in the Inbox of the mail file listed in your location document.
IMAP Online Access the Internet using IMAP. Provides direct access to your mail on the server through a Notes proxy database that is automatically created for you.
NNTP Provides access to Internet Usenet newsgroup discussions.
LDAP Provides access to Internet directories.
7. (Optional) Enable SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) if your Internet server supports it. For more information, see SSL notes.
8. Select the locations from which you want to use the account or leave the asterisk (*) selected to use the account from all locations. For example, if your POP account is only available when you dial your ISP from home, you might want to select only the "Home" location.
9. Click the Protocol Configuration tab and select any options for the protocol (POP, SMTP, etc.) that you are setting up. For example, if you are setting up a POP mail account, you can choose not to keep all your messages on the POP server after you read them. The default is to keep them on the server.
10. Click "Save and Close."
Step 3: Create or edit a location document
After you create a POP or IMAP account, you need to edit a Location document.
1. Choose File - Mobile - Locations.
2. Click "Add Location' to create a location. To edit a location, select the location and click "Edit Location."
3. Click the Basics tab.
4. In the "Location type" field, select a type from the list.
For network use, select "Local Area Network."
For remote use, select "Direct Dialup" or "Network Dialup."
For a location that supports more than one connection method, select "Custom."
For a disconnected location, select "No connection."
Do not use Notes Direct Dialup.
Note Notes displays different options depending on the location type you select.
5. In the "Location name" field, enter a name for the location.
6. Enter your Internet mail address. This is the e-mail address that will be displayed on your mail when you send mail.
7. Click the Server tab. Note that you do not need to put your Internet mail server on the Server tab. This is for Domino servers only.
8. Click the Mail tab.
9. Set the "Mail file location" to the location that will collect your POP and IMAP Offline mail (Local or the Domino server specified in Step 7).
10. Enter the name of the mail file that will collect your POP or IMAP Offline mail (jsmith.nsf, for example), or your IMAP online proxy database.
11. Enter the Internet Domain name of the Domino mail server (if you use a Domino mail server). For example, if your Domino server "MailServer/Acme" had the address "mailserver.acme.com", the Internet domain would be acme.com.
12. Set the field "Send outgoing mail" to "directly to the Internet" if you wish to send mail through an SMTP server rather than through a Domino server.
13. (Optional) Click the Replication tab to enable replication and specify a replication schedule. The Replication page is used is used to receive POP and IMAP offline mail, send SMTP mail, and replicate IMAP and newsgroup proxies.
14. Click "Save and Close."
NOTE:
One undocumented step in the Notes Help file, is that you need to repeat the steps for the POP but change it to SMTP.
So of the POP document has
pop.myisp.com and pop as type
The SMTP document has to have
smtp.myisp.com and smtp as type
