We're going to be migrating to Exchange for mail, but will still be using Notes applications for a while (we have lots of bespoke apps).

Can anyone offer any advice as to the best way of configuring the Notes client? There isn't an option in the location document for no mail, which seems odd. For current staff they'll still have access to their Notes mail database, so we can change them to read only on that, but new staff won't have a Notes mail database at all.

Ideally I'd like to remove mail links and display a custom homepage, is this possible and if so is there any documentation around for doing this?
