Please Help! My company migrated to Lotus Notes

[Seppl82]

Hi all,

sorry for posting, but i've realy used the search functionality but all link i've found about this were dead.
My company migrated to LOTUS NOTES coming from Outlook.

How can I synchronize my Calendar / Contacts with my Kaiser?

Is there a free software alternative?

My God. My company migrate from Louts Domino to Exchange/Outlook

[Seppl82]

I can imagine why :-)
Do you know a good sync tool for Lotus notes.
Local sync is enough (no need to direct sync with the domino server).

If you want to just sync with the local lotus notes installation then you can use Mnotes from commontime.

If your wanting to sync on the move then you will need to use Msuite but your company will need to install the msuite software on a server to push the mail out.

Both work excellent but I prefer to use Msuite

Mnotes works great , but try as well the new solution direct from Lotus Notes. Lotus Traveller is a real notes client and does all kind of push mail , sync or text info messaging .

Works perfect with my notes 8 .

Like multi-plattform blackbery funcitionality but from Notes Native.

Hi,

my company migrated to Lotus Notes 6.5 (therefore i think i can't use Lotus Traveller) :-)

Next problem. I've tried mNotes, but after i've installed it it tried to connect to the internet (if i click on the service in the right bottom corner and look on the first page).

Why does this tool wants to connect to the internet. To a CommonTime Switching Center (csc.commomtime.com)
I've thought the sync runs local????

Kind Regards
Seppl

Oh God they Went TO Lotus Notes?

Time For a New Job.

First Act of my Reign When I came to my company, was to get us off Lotus Notes. I could never get it to work right On PCs, Let alone my Mobile.

My company use notes and I can't connect through the Wireless to the server and they wont pay for a data plan. So I installed outlook and used the Lotus Notes connector to sync all my contacts, calendar, and email to my phone. It kinda sucks. It would be nice to wirelessly sync all the time.

But hey it works.

I use Intellisync. It does not have the best of interfaces, but I successfully sync with Lotus Notes 7 and have done with 6.5 in the past.
Having said that, I am regularly complaining to our IT director about Notes. Awful program.

My company uses Lotus Notes 6.5.4. Everybody complains but I.T.'s response is "Notes is superior and has better blah blah blah stupid users we're not changing."

I use Commontime's mNotes to sync; if you pay for the subscription plan, you can also get push email. It's works good, but has minor flaws; for instance, I sync at home with Outlook, and occasionally notes within todo's are copied to Notes, and sometimes I get a "replication or save conflict" especially if I've been on the road using InOffice.

But Intellisync can't handle the home Outlook sync. It duplicates entries like crazy. If you're only syncing to a single desktop, Intellisync is good but with 2 desktops it's worthless.

Sounds like we might work for the same company!

I finally got fed up and set up a hosted Exchange account with Sherweb. I set up a rule in Lotus Notes to have all my emails automatically forwarded to the Sherweb account, and have an alias (my work email address) for the outgoing mail. Now I don't have to use Lotus Notes at all anymore because they give you Outlook 2007 for all your computers. I have push email and wireless syncing for calendar, contacts, and tasks, and couldn't be happier.

If you want to sync locally XTNDConnect PC is your program.

Easy Sync Pro works flawlessly for me. Why would anyone switch to Notes 6 when Notes 8 is the current version? makes no sense.
