SETTING PREFERENCES

Working with mail databases someone delegates to you
When other people have delegated you access to their mail databases, you can create shortcuts to open those databases. The shortcuts appear in your Notes Mail database in the drop-down menu under the word "Mail," "Calendar, or "To Do" at the top left corner of the navigation frame.

You can also create shortcuts to other people's Notes mail databases when you use mail in an IMAP-based mail program other than Notes.

Note You must have an adequate level of access to each database you want to manage; ask the database's owner to delegate access to you. For more information, see To delegate access to your mail.

1. In your mail, click the Tools button and choose Preferences.

2. Click the "Access & Delegation" tab and then click the "Shortcuts to Others' Mail" tab.

3. Under "Provide shortcuts to the following users' Mail, Calendar and To Do's," click the button next to the field.

To configure an IMAP-based mail program to access other people's Notes mail databases

If you use both Notes mail and an IMAP-based mail program other than Notes (for example, Netscape Messenger) to access your Notes mail, you can configure the IMAP-based program to give you access to other peoples' Notes mail databases. The other peoples' databases appear as shared folders in the other mail program.

For assistance in setting up the other mail program to open your Notes mail, see your Domino administrator. The following setting will not work until your other mail program is configured to take advantage of it; then the names you enter here will appear on folders in the IMAP program.

1. In your mail, click the Tools button and choose Preferences.

2. Click the "Access & Delegation" tab and then click the "Shortcuts to Others' Mail" tab.

3. Under "Show mail owned by the following users," click the button next to the field.

4. From the Domino Directory, select the names of the people who have given you mail access.

5. Click OK twice.
