Feature |
Description |
---|---|
Embedded Browser removed | Starting with V9.0.1 FP9, the Embedded Browser is no longer available on the client platform, and cannot be used in clients or plug-ins. As a result, the "Web Browser" option no longer displays in the Notes client Preference menu; the user's default external browser is used instead. |
High resolution support | The Notes client on Windows correctly scales text and icons when high resolution monitors or custom DPI settings are used. |
Full fidelity for fonts in emails | Now when you send email over the internet with Notes, the font size in the MIME body is rendered correctly in the recipient email. |
Improved name lookup | Searching by <last name first name> through typeahead
or in the ambiguous name dialog, returns the same results as searching by first name last
name>. For example, searching for Don Smith or Smith Don returns the same results,
including variants such as Donald, Donovan, and Smithfield. Ask your administrator to enable this feature. |
Improved support for Notes addressing with mobile directory catalogs | The list of names that is shown when using typeahead to search a mobile directory catalog is
now sorted according to the directory catalog configuration. Names in local contacts follow this
list. In addition, the Search Directory for characters option is available at
the end of the list to facilitate server lookup. Ask your administrator to enable this feature. |
Improved calendar interoperability between Notes and Outlook | You can now reschedule, update, and cancel repeat meeting invitations sent to Outlook users at one time. You can also decline, delete, counter repeat meeting invitations from Outlook users. This setting is enabled by default. |
Improved fidelity for signatures in emails sent to external users | The following improvements have been made for signatures in emails sent to external users:
Ask your administrator to enable this feature, if you currently use custom settings for mail. |
Improved replication performance over low-bandwidth connections for MMR users | If you use the Managed Mail Replica (MMR) feature over low-bandwidth connections, you can
control how much of application documents to replicate initially. Review the Replication quick reference for more
information. Ask your administrator to enable this feature. |
Delegated mail files are refreshed automatically | If you have delegate access to another user's mail file, that mail file is refreshed
automatically in your Notes client. Ask your administrator to enable this feature. |
Additional roaming support | The following components are now supported for roaming:
Ask your administrator to enable roaming for the following components:
|
Kerberos-based authentication with Notes Roaming | This feature allows a user to set up Notes Federated Login using their OS Name instead of
their Canonical Name. For example, if a user types "Alice" as the user name to log in the Windows
domain bob.com, then the OS Name Alice@bob.com is
automatically supplied in the Notes Setup Wizard. The user no longer has to remember their Notes
Canonical Name for the set-up process. The prerequisites:
|
Run mail rules on existing messages | You can use mail rules to run actions on mail already in mail folders. To enable this
feature, click Enable Run Rules On Existing Mail.
Note: To use this feature, your administrator must upgrade your mail file to the Feature Pack 9
template.

. In Mail Options, select
Improved handling of non-English characters | Notes and Domino now support RFC2231, a standard internet protocol for handling non-English characters in internet messages. Supporting this standard improves message fidelity in communications between Notes and other mail clients, such as Thunderbird, that use this common protocol. |
Support for fully-qualified domain names in Notes links | You can open an application through a Notes link that has a fully-qualified domain name
without creating a Connection document. This feature is enabled by default. Ask your administrator to disable this feature. |
Support for recall of messages created with Memo stationary | When message recall is configured on the server, messages created using Memo stationery can
now be recalled. Note: To use this feature, your administrator must upgrade your mail file to the
Feature Pack 9 template.
