Appendix B

Lotus Notes Configuration

This appendix provides information on configuring the ER 3.0 client to use Lotus Notes (4.5 and above) in a Microsoft Windows environment in which Lotus Domino is the primary e-mail server.

Making these configurations ensures that e-mail reports sent from the ER 3.0 Client are transported via the MAPI client in Outlook Express directly to the IP Address of the Lotus Domino e-mail server. This setup avoids any delays or “hung” reports that may occur if settings point to the Lotus Notes client, since Lotus Notes utilizes the MAPI .DLL differently than mail clients native to the Windows OS.

NOTE: Versions of Lotus Notes prior to 4.5 do not contain the necessary MAPI transport .DLL.

Steps for Former MS Outlook / Express Users

Follow these steps if Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express was the primary e-mail client used on your system.

1.Delete any current e-mail accounts residing in Outlook or Outlook Express.

2.If Outlook is currently installed with your Microsoft Office system, uninstall Outlook—but not Outlook Express.
