RE: can Domino connect to POP3 Accounts? ~Gus Chukikonyoni 1.Jun.03 01:42 PM a Web browser Domino Server All ReleasesAll Platforms
Not sure about the server, but I do use the Notes 6 client as my e-mail client at home to handle my personal mail with ISP.
I enjoy the full-text indexing, archiving, and its easy to backup a single NSF file. Also, I know my client more than ever because I use it at both home and work. I kind of grows on you.
Setting this up was not very intuitive in Notes 5 (by which I mean I had to refer to Help), but the wizards in Notes 6 make it relatively painless (File - Preferences - Client Reconfiguration Wizard).
One thing to watch out for (it may not be an issue with 6, but it was with 5), is to make sure you configure it to NOT leave mail on the POP3 server. The default setting was to leave mail on the server and my mailbox filled up at my ISP and started bouncing.
Another problem I had was sending mail with attachments. I got SMTP timeout error messages on the replicator and I had to make a change to a setting in my note.ini file which helped, but eventually the real issue turned out to be a problem with my DSL router and it ws resolved after a firmware upgrade.
An ongoing issue is the the Notes Client does not gracefully handle HTML mail that uses CSS2 style sheets with positioning. So some of my emails look strange and if I really want to see them properly, I have to copy the source to a file and open in my browser. I can live with this for now, but I'd really like this feature to be added to the Notes client.
