My adventures and misadventures with Lotus Domino

Google Android and the "Kill Switch"October 19

Google has taken a leaf out of Steve Jobs’ iPhone and included a remote kill-switch in its Android operating system that runs its own G1 mobile phone. Using the kill-switch, Google can remove any application from Android handsets that the search engine giant finds violating its terms and conditions.

The fact came to light on Friday as some tech bloggers picked ‘the little devil’ in the fine print of Android Market’s terms of service while reviewing the handsets provided by Google and T-Mobile for media previews. In contrast, Apple had not even mentioned anything about such a switch

So well I guess its yet another "do as I say or die" kind of a deal.

Now to add to this , last night I got to play extensively with the G1 phone. It was one of the most impressive experiences I have had in a long time. its a lot lighter than I expected. The touch screen is a lot more responsive than I expected and the features are pretty impressive. Thank you t-mobile :)

I do plan to buy one for the house.

Error-operation stopped at your request:mail.boxOctober 6

 User has been using Lotus Notes for quite a while , everything was working fine.,

Now we upgraded the user to Lotus Notes 8.0.2 and every time he tries to send an email. he gets this error. We blew away the ini file and reinstalled the notes client and all seemed fine for a day or 2 and the error came back . The user gets a pop-up window as shown below and it cannot send any emails out.

 

We tried to roll him back to Lotus Notes 8.0.1 (yeah yeah I know its not a Notes problem!!) but that again fixed the error for a few days and was back again.

Solutions:

Temporary Solution.

1. Exit the lotus notes client
2. Edit the notes.ini file and delete the following lines

   EXTMGR_ADDINS=nPgpOvid.dll
   NSF_HOOKS=nPgpOvid.dll
   

Removing the two lines shown above from notes.ini and restarting Lotus Notes solved the problem.

Now here is the problem with this work- around...The lines are inserted each time the PGP Desktop restart. So despite the fact that, within PGP Desktop, Tools -> Options -> Messaging, “Secure Email” was not selected and, in Tools -> Options -> Notifier, “Use PGP Notifier” was not selected.

Permanent Solution:

Domino 8.5 Different modes of DWAOctober 1

In the older versions of Lotus Domino we had 2 mail templates. Mail and domino web access.

The Mail being the supposedly "lighter" and "faster" template for web access to the mailbox and the Domino Web Access (DWA) being the rich  and slower one.

Then Lotus combined it all into one template and either using the Notes.ini file or the "ui=" at the end of the url we could switch between the 2 tempates. Despite that it did nothing to the speed.

A lot if us kept screaming "hey lotus. this is just web based access to email. make it lighter , make it faster".   And as always they took their time but they listened. Thank you Lotus.

Upgrade folders when you upgrade design of mailbox. Thank you LotusOctober 1

In the past, if we upgraded a users mail file template from his workstation ( believe me there are people that still do this !!!) we have had to go in and upgrade the design of the folders  manually from the menu .




But now with version 8.x we can get it done at one go.....   (or did I miss it in earlier versions??) Dont think so!
