GETTING CONNECTED

Setting up locations for Internet mail manually
If you create Internet mail account(s) manually instead of during configuration, you may need to set up one or more locations for Internet mail.

To set up your location(s):

1. Do one of the following:

To use the one mail file for both Domino and Internet mail, choose File - Mobile - Edit Current Location.
To use separate files, change to location where you want to use Internet mail (for example, Internet), and choose File - Mobile - Edit Current Location.

2. If you’re editing the Internet location, select a type from the list in the "Location type" field.

For use over a phone line modem, select "Network Dialup."
For use over a network (for example at your office), a cable modem, or a DSL line, select "Local Area Network."

Note

Do not use Notes Direct Dialup.

3. Do one of the following in the "Internet mail address" field:

If you’re using only one location, enter the Internet version of your organizational Notes mail address, for example, jsmith@acme.com.
If you’re editing a separate Internet location for personal mail, enter the Internet mail address assigned by your ISP, for example, myfunname@myisp.com.

4. Click the Mail tab.

5. Enter the domain of your Domino home server in "Internet domain for Notes addresses when connecting directly to the Internet." For example, if your Domino server "MailServer/Acme" has the address "mailserver.acme.com," the Internet domain would be acme.com.

Note

If you are using Notes only for Internet mail with no Domino server, leave this field as is.

6. Do one of the following to specify where to collect your POP or IMAP Offline mail:

If this location is for both Domino and Internet mail, enter the name of your Notes mail database (for example, mail\jsmith.nsf) in the "Mail file" field.
If this is a separate location for your Internet (POP or IMAP Offline) mail only, enter the file name of your POP or IMAP local replica database.
If this is a separate location for your Internet IMAP Online mail, enter the file name of your IMAP proxy database.

Note

Notes uses the mail file you specify in this field whenever you click the Mail icon in the Bookmark bar or Welcome page, choose Create - Mail from the main menu, or forward a document.

7. Do one of the following:

To work with no connection and use replication to send and receive mail at this location, set "Mail file location" to Local. When you're ready, you can click the Replication tab to set up a replication schedule.
To work directly on the Internet mail server (for example if you have IMAP Online mail), set "Mail file location" to "on Server."

8. Set the field "Send outgoing mail" to "directly to Internet."

Note

Your Domino server may be capable of handling outgoing Internet mail (ask your administrator), but even if it is, you may not want to send your personal Internet mail through your organization’s server.

9. Click "Save & Close."

Note You can use the Replicator page to receive POP and IMAP Offline mail, send SMTP mail, and replicate IMAP and newsgroup proxy databases.

Examples of setting up Internet mail

What do you want to do? Steps...

Store all your mail, Domino and Internet, in a single mail file and send all your mail using one identity. Edit your existing most commonly used location, for example the Office location, and perform the steps in To set up your location(s):.
At step 3: Enter an Internet mail address based on your Domino mail name, or the Internet mail address assigned by your ISP if you want all sent mail to appear under that name.
At step 6: Specify a single mail file.
At step 8: Send outgoing Internet mail through a Domino server (if your Domino server allows it -- ask your administrator).

Store your Internet mail separately from your Domino mail (for example if Internet mail is personal and Domino mail is for your organization). Use two identities on the Internet. Edit the Internet location to use for your Internet mail, and perform the steps in To set up your location(s):.
At step 3: Enter the Internet mail address assigned by your ISP.
At step 6: Enter the title of an existing local mail database other than your Domino mail. This database will collect your Internet mail.
At step 8: Send outgoing Internet mail through a SMTP server. To use an SMTP server you must have an account.
