Have you ever wanted to schedule future emails from your Notes Client? Well, now HCL Domino supports scheduling email messages, which allows you to do just that. So, draft your email, assign it a send date, and sit back and relax. The email will be delivered by the router at the time you specify. This feature is very useful for scheduling announcements, newsletters, or any mail which you want to be delivered at a future specified time. You need to be on Domino v10 or v11 (using the Mail10.ntf or Mail11.ntf template) to be able to schedule messages to be sent in the future. Here’s how it works. The configuration document setting “Allow users to schedule a delivery time for messages” is enabled by default, so you don’t have to change anything in that document. You would make sure that the mail policy setting has the checkbox selected to enable the delivery option, as illustrated here. If you don’t have a mail policy, then you can create a new one. If you already have a mail policy, you merely update it. After creating or updating the mail setting, you need to give the following command to update the mail policy in the user’s mail file. Tell adminp process mail policy The next step is to restart the Notes Client, so that it will pull the new policy settings from the server. Advanced users can use this command from the command prompt of their client machine to update the policy on the client's side without restarting: C:\notes\ndyncfg -2 Once the settings are pulled by the Notes Client, you will see the following option in delivery options while sending mail: “Delivery Options at the user side.” Simply select the date and time for delivery and the router will deliver it at that...

Last January 2020, we launched a new version of Domino Notes Client (V11) which contains cleaner and modernized UI, minimalist menus, simplified forms and user experience improvements for Mail.   Under Modernized UI Notes Client V11 appearance has changed the new color scheme and design. Notes Client UI focused on Simplicity so that it will be more user friendly.  Also, for user experience Improvements, we focused on Progressive disclosure to show the advanced features and actions as the user needs them.  Finally, we focused on Notes Client performance to be faster and more stable to increase effectiveness of the user.  In addition to the aforementioned enhancements, new features are also made available in response to the feedbacks and requests from our customers.  What’s New in Notes v 11  Export to PDF - You can now export emails and documents to PDF from the HCL Notes Client. 24+ hour meeting support - Meetings that are longer than 24 hours are now supported by the HCL Notes® Calendar. Three Click Support - Three click support adds a level of security when a user opens an attachment within an email. Network resiliency improvements - When there is no network connection (when the cable is unplugged or the wireless is unavailable), the Notes client responds with an error message. Previously, the client would freeze before timing out - now, the error message appears right away. Synched release schedule - Starting with this release, Sametime and Notes follow the same release schedule. TLS 1.2 support for SAML - Notes and Embedded Sametime now support TLS 1.2 with Notes Federated login (SAML). This enhancement is a result of upgrading the XULRunner browser within Notes to the latest version (which supports TLS 1.2). MAC 64-bit uninstaller - The uninstaller provided for Notes 11 on Mac is now 64-bit. This change is made because Apple will no longer support a...

On July 16, 2019, HCL announced the End of Marketing/End of Service of Connections Cloud and Domino Apps on Cloud (DAC) with services ending July 16, 2020. As part of this announcement, Richard Jefts, GM and VP of Digital Solutions shared our cloud strategy moving forward. Core to HCL’s philosophy is transparency, simplicity and commitment to a relationship beyond the contract. We intend to apply these principles to our licensing strategy to smoothly transition customers into the appropriate license terms in line with their actual use of our products and services. Our licensing transition will ensure that customers continue to have the entitlements that they have been using under the Dual Entitlement part numbers on-premises while maintaining the flexibility of term licensing and user counts instead of PVU counts. This will ensure that customers continue to take advantage of the vast investments HCL is making in Domino, Verse on Premises, Notes, Connections, Docs and Sametime.   The table below depicts current entitlements made available with the Dual Entitlement part numbers. HCL customers who are currently licensed under part numbers D1HYBLL, D1HY8LL, D1HY5LL or D1HY2LL will be transitioned as follows at renewal time:   Customers deployed on the cloud: Will be able to renew as well as additional purchase users under the DE licensing model from IBM Term of the renewal will end on July 16, 2020, coinciding with the EOS date On or before July 16, 2020, customers will be able to transition to the new below on-premises part numbers   Customer not deployed on the cloud: Will be renewed on a new term, on-premises licenses that will provide like for like entitlements at the same price of a Dual Entitlement renewal with HCL Dual Entitlement to on-premises part number mapping: Below is the mapping that will be used for...
