How in the hell do you force this crappy program to get your mail?????

You use a different program, or if your work is forcing you to use it, you swallow your pride and go ask someone with more experience.

If you can elaborate, I might be able to help you. If you are trying to force a 'Send/Receive Mail', click on the small Inbox Tray icon on the right-hand bottom corner in the status bar - it will pop-up a list of actions and you can select 'Send & Receive Mail' to force it to send and receive mail, HTH.

Its not that bad we have it here at work and if you need any help just ask.

We are about to setup a notes server here at work. We chose notes because it integrates well with our AS/400. From everything I have read, Domino is a very good product. I hope it is easily administered.

Notes is great if a company knows how to maximize the possibilities of the software. I have worked with Notes in the past and had no issues with it. It just works a little different than Outlook.

THANK YOU!!!!

I wonder though, could they have made it any harder to find? It's under one little tiny icon on the very corner of the window...

You mean to check whether you have new mail? I just hit F9 for that

DOS ain't done til 3-2-1 won't run. Any truth to that?

But overall, I still hate Notes. What an unintuitive POS. The "database" concept is neat, but that doesn't make up for its awkward interface and crappy mail composition screen. Jeez!@!
