LOTUS INOTES

Desktop policy settings supported in Lotus iNotes
When applied to a user, the following desktop policy settings lock down the associated user preferences in IBM® Lotus® iNotes™. (Note that any existing policies that were assigned to iNotes users previously will be enforced.)

For a full explanation about using policies and the relationship between policy documents and policy settings documents, see the "User and Server Configuration - Policies" section of the Domino Administrator Help.
Setting and tabDescription
Preferences - Miscellaneous tab
Right double-click closes windowEnable this setting if you want to allow the user to close the current Notes window by right double-clicking the mouse. The setting applies only to Microsoft® Windows®.
Preferences - Mail tab
Mark documents read when opened in preview paneEnable this setting if you want to mark a document "Read' after it opens in a preview pane. Previewing allows a user to see part of a document's contents without having to open the actual document. The preview pane is a separate frame that opens in the current view.
Save sent mailEnable this setting to always save a copy of the user's sent mail messages in their Sent folder.
Sign sent mailEnable this setting if you want all user mail messages digitally signed before they are sent to other Lotus iNotes users or to users over the Internet. Digital signatures are the computerized equivalent of a handwritten signature, but they are much harder to forge. In Lotus iNotes a digital signature is created with the user's private key and then verified with the user's public key.
Encrypt sent mailEnable this setting if you want all user mail messages encrypted before they are sent to other Notes users or to users over the Internet.
Show a PopupEnable this setting if you want a dialog box to display when a user has new mail messages.
Play a SoundEnable this setting if you want a sound to play when a user receives a new mail message.
Mail checking intervalType the number (of minutes) to set the interval at which Lotus iNotes checks for new messages.
Preferences - Internet tab
Internet mail formatSpecify the Internet mail format to be used for sending messages via the Internet. Choose one:
  • HTML only - E-mail recipients with Internet-style addresses receive HTML formatted text and graphics. Notes Rich Text would need to be converted to MIME when sent over SMTP and this conversion causes a loss of fidelity if the user's default mail form is set to Rich Text Format. Recipients will receive HTML e-mail if they can read it. If their e-mail program does not support MIME, then they will receive a plain text message.
  • Plain Text only - Mail recipients with Internet-style addresses receive plain text. This is the safest option to use if you are unsure whether recipients of your users' e-mail use a mail program that can read HTML formatted messages or Rich Text Format messages.
  • HTML and Plain Text - When users send e-mail to mail recipients who use e-mail programs that support MIME, those mail recipients receive HTML formatted mail. Mail recipients who have e-mail programs that don't support MIME, will receive plain text. This option is the most versatile.
  • Prompt when sending - Users are prompted to specify a format each time they send an Internet mail message.
Prefix each line withSpecify a character to use as a line prefix.
Wrap lines atSpecify the number of characters that comprise the default line length.
