you need to enter this registy setting before installing the connector.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook\Options\General]
“UnknownRowsSortOrder”=dword:00000001

My employer uses Lotus Notes and I hate it. Installed the outlook connector today and in no time I was up and running. I have a few issues and wonder if anyone has figured this out. 1) I cannot figure out how to make my sent emails display my name and not just my email address. 2) Persons within my company From fields will show up not as a name or email address but rather with the full path to their email box on the server. 3) Our company has a shared address book which does show up as an available list when I’m selecting whom I’m going to email, but I cannot access my personal Contacts or Address book namely ‘names.nsf’ on my pc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John

I’ve been using Notes (now on 6.5) for years with no problems. I have had others, like yourself who tell me how bad the client UI is, and I just don’t see it. What, EXACTLY, is it that folks find so awful about it? I’m assuming that your IT staff has the server on a decent box and updates installed. This is an honest question, not looking for flames.

I am working with a fresh install of Microsoft Office (no updates at all)after a fresh WinXP w/SP2 updates and I still get this message…

“Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The server is not available. Contact your administrator if this condition persists”

Anyone have any ideas? I am stumped…

To get around the KB uninstall (which seems to be included in SP3) add the following registry key (DWORD):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook\Options\General

The value should be set to 1

Chris – There is no link to download the IBM connector. MS one is free.

I tried the Outlook connector for Dominio but could never get it to work on my laptop. Keep saying that my notes profile is not set up properly when I can use my Lotus Notes.

I’m using IBM’s connector and i find it’s A LOT easier to setup and seems to work a lot better..take a long time initially to setup, especially if you have a lot of mail..but otherwise..it’s great.
