It's Lotus Notes email, Jim, but not as we know it ...
During a recent project, we came across a requirement to provide access to a user's email on a portal page, without using the normal iNotes ( Domino Web Access ) or POP/IMAP mail portlets.
Not sure what led me to this, but I thought ... I wonder whether Domino has some kind of Atom/RSS syndication mechanism ? And, guess what, it does ....
I added the following lines to the NOTES.INI file on the Domino server: -
iNotes_WA_Feeds=rss,atom
iNotes_WA_FeedsSecured=0
iNotes_WA_FeedsProtocol=http
iNotes_WA_DisableForceBasicAuthForFeeds=1
and restarted Domino ( although I probably could have simply reloaded the HTTP task via TELL HTTP RESTART ).
Lo and behold, I can now subscribe to my inbox via the URL: -
or: -
which results in this: -
and this: -
either of which lead me back to this: -

This ability showed it's ugly head in 8.0 and is good for notifications in mail-in type databases but horrible for users since they dont need to click and click to act on a message.
